Nick Train considering top-ups

Nick Train is considering some top-ups:
Citywire AA-rated Nick Train is looking to spend a likely influx of cash by topping up on a number of stocks in his Lindsell Train UK Equity fund that he believes present 'compelling value' after falls in the stock market sell-off.

Train noted that before March's rally, Burberry (BRBY) was down nearly 25% from its 2017 peak. Payroll system provider Sage (SAGE) has fallen 22%, analytics provider RELX (REL) dropped 18%, investment businesses Schroders (SDR) and Hargreaves Lansdown (HRGV) are both down 15%, and drinks maker Diageo (DGE), snack company Mondelez, and consumer goods giant Unilever (ULVR) are all down by more than 10% from recent highs.

‘Some of the falls in our major holdings are already not trivial,’ he said. ‘10% declines are usually acknowledged as "corrections", with anything at 20% or more down seen as a proper bear market. Those declines are getting interesting to us,' he said.

- I trimmed/sold a third of my Diageo holding on 03 Jan 18 @ £26.71 and subsequently bought it back 05 Apr 18 @ £24.68.
- I hear RELX are cutting costs relentlessly to drive their numbers.
- Trimmed ULVR also on 03 Jan 18 @ £40.38 haven't yet bought back but may very well do........
- BAT (£41.19) and Imperial Brands (£24.63) do look good value IMHO.

Hi YeeWo,

I see that BATS is down to £40.00 at the moment, thus offering a 4.90% yield. I'm sorely tempted as I've got sufficient funds for another share for my HYP. Are you still considering them?
