Equity Bottom-Up

Abrdn UK Smaller Cos Growth Tr / Equity Bottom-Up

<p>Standard Life UK Smaller Companies Trust (SLS) has been managed by Harry Nimmo since 2003. He aims to generate long-term capital growth from a diversified portfolio of smaller-cap UK equites. While a little more cautious on the near-term outlook for small caps given, their strong start to the year and Brexit-related uncertainty, Nimmo remains very positive on the longer-term outlook. He suggests that the portfolio&rsquo;s companies have potential earnings growth of 10-15% pa, which bodes well for SLS&rsquo;s dividend growth. The trust has a very strong performance track record; it has outperformed its Numis Smaller Companies ex-Investment Companies Index benchmark over one, three, five and 10 years. Over the last 10 years, SLS&rsquo;s dividend has compounded at an annual rate of 23.5%; its current yield is 1.5%.</p>
