"Celui qui investit dans de bonnes entreprises n'a pas de souci à se faire, même lors d'une crise telle que celle-ci." C'est ce qu'affirme le gestionnaire de fonds britannique Terry Smith, à qui ses performances boursières ont valu le surnom de Warren Buffett européen.

‘De forse beursverliezen door de coronacrisis zeggen meer over de tijdelijke massahysterie van de maatschappij dan over beleggen. Wie belegt in goede bedrijven moet zich geen zorgen maken, ook niet in crisistijden als deze.' Dat zegt de Britse fondsbeheerder Terry Smith, die door zijn beursprestaties de Europese Warren Buffett wordt genoemd.

As we informed them ahead of publication of the original article, The Sunday Times has confirmed that we are not in breach. “We apologise to Mr Smith for this error.”

City star Terry Smith has revealed plans for a new investment trust focused on global small and mid-sized companies. Smith's self-titled firm Fundsmith will roll out the Smithson Investment Trust with the aim of finding and investing in 25 to 40 of the world's best small and medium-sized companies.

Fundsmith, the fund management business set up by veteran City stockpicker Terry Smith, says it will absorb all of the launch costs of its new £250m investment trust in a move that will reignite the debate over investment fees charged to retail investors.

Fundsmith has developed a considerable fan club of investors and it is not difficult to see why. The Fundsmith Equity fund topped the bestseller lists of both the Bestinvest and AJ Bell DIY investment platforms last year and has returned a whopping 266 per cent in a little over seven years since it was launched.
