Terry Smith has been managing the international equity fund Fundsmith Equity since 2010. With an average return of 15.1% per year since its creation, he has not stolen his title of "European Warren Buffett". As a general rule, the fund beats passive investors who have opted for an index fund by four percentage points each year. And every year until 2021, Smith also significantly outperformed the market.

Having spent the first decade of my career working in a bank and then becoming a top-rated bank analyst, I find that people often express surprise that I never invest in bank shares.

Fundsmith manager Terry Smith explains how the end of cheap money might affect the fund’s performance and what he plans to do with the portfolio.
