The Aberdeen Equity Income Trust uses an index-agnostic approach, scouring the entire UK market to identify companies where change has not been fully recognised by investors. This strategy acknowledges that some of the best investment opportunities can arise from under-researched parts of the market, where valuation mispricings are most significant.

As a result, the trust’s portfolio often looks very different from other investment vehicles offering access to UK equity income. As of its latest year end, 51% of the trust’s portfolio was invested in companies outside the FTSE 100 index.
