Celebrating 5 years for the CT Global Focus Fund

David Dudding, Senior Portfolio Manager of the CT Global Focus Fund, reflects on how he has navigated a landscape that stretches from Covid-19 lockdowns to war in Ukraine; the growing prominence of ESG in investing; and the emergence of AI as a significant catalyst for change. He also talks rate hikes and double-digit inflation, and how through all this the team’s process for evaluating what makes a good investment endures and provides an important anchor amid the many challenges.
