FE Trustnet verdict
Overall, performing better than the peer group composite. Over a long track record, the manager has outperformed the peer group more often than not. Good stockpicking has had a material positive impact on results, which have not been particularly exposed to falling markets.
Manager profile
Leigh, a Financial Express Trustnet Alpha Manager, joined Eden Financial in July 2011 and manages the CF Eden UK Select Opportunities Fund. Leigh trained as an accountant and after completing his MBA moved to Rensburg in 1995. He managed small and mid cap pension funds at Nestlé from 1998 before returning to Rensburg in 2001 to manage the UK Mid-Cap Growth Trust. In 2006 he moved to Royal London Asset Management where he ran the company's UK Mid-Cap Growth Trust. In September 2009 he joined Gartmore to head up the UK equity team and to manage the Gartmore UK Alpha Fund.

Performance vs peer group composite: Leigh Himsworth
How a manager matches up against his peers gives you some idea of how talented he is. Very few managers perform equally well in rising and falling markets, so knowing which type of market a manager is capable of performing well within is also important.
