FE Trustnet verdict
Overall, performing worse than the peer group composite. Over a fairly lengthy track record, the manager has underperformed the peer group more often than not. There is not sufficient data to say whether good stockpicking has had any real effect on results, which have not been particularly exposed to falling markets.

Ben is a Fund Manager and Director of Asia PacificEquities and team leader for the Korean and Taiwanese investment teams. He joined F&C in 2005 and has over 12 years investment experience. He worked for Morley Fund Management as a Fund Manager in the Asia Pacific equities team both in Singapore and the UK. Ben began his investment career in 1996 with Norwich Union Investment Management , which later became Morley Fund Management.

Performance vs peer group composite: Ben Akrigg
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.
