I think this is an interesting move by Smith. These are all relatively ‘defensive’ stocks. Typically, ones that tend to hold up well when the stock market is falling.
To my mind, the fact Smith is adding to these kinds of stocks suggests he’s more than a little cautious about the market right now. Given the amazing run stocks have had recently, I think this is probably a smart move from the portfolio manager. If the market experiences a correction in the near term, these stocks could potentially provide Fundsmith with more than a degree of protection. There’s no guarantee they will do so though.

Exchange-Traded Funds, or ETFs, can be an inexpensive way to diversify your investments. An ETF is a collection of securities that can include shares, bonds or commodities that are listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). They can be traded during the day, just like listed stocks, and usually track an underlying index.
Key takeaways:
ETFs may include Australian or international assets
You purchase a share in the ETF, not in its underlying assets
The price of an ETF fluctuates during the day as it’s bought and sold on an exchange
ETFs often have low management expense ratios, which is how much of its assets are spent managing the fund
Tapping into sustainability and green energy part 2 Lex Hall | 01 Apr 2021Text size
Decarbonisation, renewable energy, and ethical investing are increasingly urgent issues for asset managers and investors alike. But how do you play it? Finding pure-play ASX-listed companies that tap the theme is tricky, but there are more and more funds, both active and passive, that offer exposure.
In the second part of our feature on investing in sustainability and green energy, we examine some local and international ideas, including some narrow-moat companies as rated by Morningstar analysts, and three examples of ETFs available to local investors. And finally, we end the discussion with a note of caution and why investing in sustainability, like any trend of theme, isn’t entirely free.
