A look ahead to 2025 for the Quality Shares Portfolio

The start of a new year is always a great time for investors to take stock, review their portfolios and ask: what’s next?

In this 16-minute video, Charlie Huggins, manager of Wealth Club’s Quality Shares Portfolio does just that.

Watch this video to find out how the Quality Shares Portfolio has performed since launch and key themes, as well as Charlie's views on:

  • The Magnificent 7 and artificial intelligence (is the hype justified?)
  • The Autumn Budget and potential impact on UK businesses
  • The outlook for 2025 and why now isn’t the time to ‘get greedy’

Important: The information on individual company shares represents the view of Charlie as portfolio manager but it is not a personal recommendation to buy, sell or hold shares in any company. Experienced investors should form their own view or seek advice if unsure. Charlie personally invests in the Quality Shares Portfolio. This article is original Wealth Club content.

Quality Shares Portfolio – invest in “exceptional” companies, chosen for their resilience

The Quality Shares Portfolio, managed by Charlie Huggins, is specifically designed for experienced investors genuinely interested in investing.

It currently invests around 15 companies Charlie considers exceptional. All are highly established industry leaders providing critical goods and services, with market capitalisations ranging from several billion dollars to over a trillion.

These companies are the type of businesses where you can bury the share certificate in a drawer, dig it out 10 years later and, hopefully, find the profits and cash flows are materially higher.

Once you invest, Charlie shares with you an unparalleled level of information. You can see a full list of every holding, with explanations on why it’s included. Every month, you receive a detailed update with views on the portfolio, companies, and market developments.
