In Episode #12 we speak to Simon Barnard, the lead portfolio manager of the Smithson Investment Trust (SSON-LON), the London-listed Investment Trust which uses a very similar investment process to that used by Terry Smith on the Fundsmith Equity Fund but focusing on businesses which are smaller in size, typically investing in companies between £500m and £15bn in size (measured in terms of market capitalisation) at the time of purchase.

In each episode of our Investor Insights Podcast we will be interviewing portfolio managers from across the investment industry to gain from the expertise in their specialist areas and to question them on the topical issues of today.
