The fund manager's recipe for success: buy when the market crashes

Article Abstract:

Fund managers must be prepared to buy into difficult markets in the hope that they will recover, according to Michael Hart, chairman of Foreign and Colonial Management, manager of Foreign and Colonial Investment Trust. This trust invested in a number of good-quality companies during the extended bear market of 1974, and undertook a similar strategy during the stock market crash of 1987. It has performed at a much higher level than the FT All-Share Index since the late 1980s.

Advice for stock-pickers: buy what the market wants to sell

Article Abstract:

Investors should not necessarily focus on high-yielding stocks, as these companies could well have an uncertain future, according to Schroder Income Fund, a unit trust founded in 1968. This invests in shares which will increase its dividend income faster than the average dividend growth of the main UK equity market indices. This gives it a much higher potential long-term return than a bond fund, as share prices generally perform better than bond prices.
