Familial approach taken by De Lisle results in fivefold returns

Familial approach taken by De Lisle results in fivefold returns

If you'd invested £1 in the VT De Lisle America Fund in August 2010, you would now have a return totalling £5.57.

It's a small cap value fund with a portfolio of 100 consumer cyclical and industrial stocks.

Richard de Lisle is co-founder of De Lisle Partners and manager of the fund, and his approach is trusting and familial in nature. Many of the stocks he's held for a decade and he knows the business and its management.

His strategy unobtrusive. "I engage no more than listening to the executives speak every quarter."
