Innovation boosts returns

This technology-focused fund's approach to long-term growth stories is paying dividends.

Since its launch in 1982, the Henderson Global Growth Fund "has been through a number of incarnations", says Cherry Reynard in Money Observer. Formerly a technology-focused fund, for the last three years it's styled itself as "a growth fund with an innovation bias". The new investment style seems to have brought a marked improvement in performance; the fund is up almost 40% over three years and nearly 11% over the last year.

Manager Ian Warmerdam still invests in technology (Amazon and Cisco are top ten holdings), but his global focus allows him to invest in other stories, such as positive demographics in emerging markets.
