Church House: six funds designed with the investor in mind
“We re all about long term gains, not interested in quarterly investment rankings. Our interest is in our clients and investors.”
When looking around for which investment trust or fund to buy, some investors may have felt that none particularly suited their needs.
Many funds are created to access a specific market or to fit a certain sector remit.
Church House Investment Management’s name may not be the most well-known but for many investors their range of funds may appear to have been designed especially with them in mind.

Rupert Hambro, who has died aged 77, was a stylish financial entrepreneur in the fifth generation of one of the City’s most illustrious banking dynasty.
Hambro had barely passed his 40th birthday in 1983 when he succeeded his cousin Charlie (later Lord Hambro) as chairman of Hambros Bank, founded in London in 1839 by their forebear Carl Joachim Hambro, who came from a merchant family in Copenhagen.

When 48-year-old Francis Rodd, 2nd Lord Rennell, was appointed Chief Civil Affairs Officer of Allied occupied Sicily in 1943, he had a major bone of contention with the Americans. They had sacked all the Italian fascist officials but replaced them with local Mafia bosses. Some of the American officers were too close to the mobsters and the British administrator vowed to break their hold over the island.
It was a dangerous task, but for Rennell, who left his career in the City to explore the Sahara in his 20s, it was just another interesting challenge. During the time he was in charge of law and order on the island, he perhaps came closest to smashing the pernicious influence of the Cosa Nostra.
Rory MacPherson, ITN diplomatic correspondent and newsreader in the 1970s – obituary
He cut an authoritative figure on screen, having come from a career as a diplomat that included service during the Cuban missile crisis
Rory MacPherson
Rory MacPherson, who has died aged 85, was diplomatic correspondent and a newscaster for ITN during its heyday in the 1970s.
Before the arrival of Anna Ford in 1978, Richard Ingrams lamented in The Spectator: “Like the member of some agreeable old club which has decided finally to let women in, I have been savouring the last days of the all-male ITN … There may be only a few days left in which to enjoy the last news bulletins not to be read out by high-pitched women, but by nice quietly-spoken, soothing gentlemen with the right sort of accents like Reggie Bosanquet, Sandy Gall and Rory MacPherson.”
