Top fund picks for a selection of goals

By Dave Baxter & Leonora Walters. Last updated 23 March.

Alliance Trust looked durable in a 2022 that was painful for many a global fund. The trust, which effectively commissions a handful of specialist fund managers to pick their own best stock ideas, has benefited from balancing out its exposure to the growth and value styles. 

It has a chunk of exposure to the US tech giants, with Alphabet, Microsoft, Visa and Amazon as its top four holdings at the end of January. But it's balance of styles is illustrated by the fact that Exxon Mobil occupies slot number five, with names such as British American Tobacco in its top 20.
