The fund that trebled investors' money by backing Britain's smallest companies: INVESTING SHOW
Smaller companies in the UK offer one of the best opportunities to investors in a long time, says the manager behind the top performing investment trust over the past five years. Rockwood Strategic has trebled investors money since June 2020, but manager Richard Staveley says that Britain's smallest listed companies are still going cheap. He speaks to Simon Lambert on this episode of the Investing Show, to discuss how his investment philosophy, how Rockwood Strategic invests and reveal the thinking behind some of the companies it currently holds. Rockwood Strategic has achieved a 198 per cent total return over the past five years, putting it top of the UK smaller companies sector, according to AIC figures, with its value approach to picking shares paying off. He highlights how the trust even bought two companies for less than the cash on their balance sheets. By comparison to Rockwood Strategic's performance, the FTSE All Share is up 42.3 per cent over five years, while the much better performing US stock market index, the S&P 500, is up 98 per cent. The £116million investment trust holds 24 companies and Richard says this concentrated approach means it can adopt the Warren Buffett-style principle of focusing on your best investment ideas. He says Rockwood Strategic works closely with the companies it holds and that 'if you rang up any of the CEOs, they would say we are one of their most engaged investors'. Richard says: 'A lot of investing these days has gone passive and I think there's a decreasing role for investors like myself to just sit on wide portfolios of stocks. 'To prove why it's worth having us, we need to do things that the computers can't do, have a concentration, and take active risk and get involved.'

Vietnam advances plans for international financial centre as trade risks grow
HANOI, June 11 (Reuters) - Vietnam is moving forward with plans to establish an international financial centre to enhance its role in the global financial market and attract international capital flows, Finance Minister Nguyen Van Thang told parliament on Tuesday. The initiative could position Vietnam as a regional hub for financial activity, boosting its economic influence, according to Thang and a draft plan, now in its 30th version, seen by Reuters. The draft includes policies covering foreign exchange liberalization, banking activities, capital market development, tax incentives, and labour provisions targeting experts and investors. Foreign investment inflows into Vietnam in January-May rose 7.9% to $8.9 billion, the government said, while foreign investment pledges were up 51.1% to $18.4 billion. But the United States has threatened heavy tariffs on Vietnamese-made goods if it does not make major concessions, which could dampen its investment momentum. The country is an important manufacturing base for companies ranging from Samsung Electronics, Foxconn and Intel to Nike and Adidas. The National Assembly, Vietnamese parliament, will vote on the resolution on June 27. A key feature allows members of the financial centre to use foreign currency for transactions and secure international financing, according to the draft. "Members are permitted to establish trading floors and platforms for commodities, carbon credits, cultural products, and innovative startups," the draft said. Two sources familiar with the matter confirmed the draft as the latest version. Administrative procedures will be simplified, the draft added, creating more favourable conditions for participants. The financial centre will apply accounting and financial standards, including minimum capital adequacy and liquidity ratios, specific to both 100% foreign-owned banks and domestic banks, aligning with international practices. It will operate across two cities: financial hub Ho Chi Minh City and tourism-focused Danang. The government had earlier set a goal to have the centres operational this year.
