Fancy investing like Warren Buffett but unsure how to get started? One solution could be to buy into the Trojan Global Equity Fund. The fund's manager, Gabrielle Boyle, is herself an aficionado of Buffett's stock-picking techniques, writes Moira O'Neill at Investors Chronicle.
Boyle, who joined Troy Asset Management three years ago after 17 years at Lazard's, focuses on companies with strong brands and distribution channels. "We don't own cyclical businesses or companies that are dependent on one or two products," she tells O'Neill. Boyle also thinks buying and selling too many shares is a "tax" on investors, so she is sticking to a 20% annual turnover in the fund's portfolio.
