Britain Needs More Big Brands, says Nick Train

The UK has a disappointing shortage of truly global consumer brands, says Nick Train, manager of the Gold-rated star Finsbury Growth and Income trust (FGT). In this year's annual InterBrand survey of the world’s biggest brands, just five UK names make the list, opines Train. Fashion brand Burberry, number 96 on the 2019 InterBrand list, is the sixth largest holding in the Finsbury trust and is also owned by his 5-star rated Lindsell Train Investment Trust (LTI).
