25 years of the Artemis Income Fund
On 6 June, we marked the 25th anniversary of the Artemis Income Fund – a milestone reflecting long-term success.
Since launch, the fund has generated total returns of 783%*, significantly outperforming the FTSE All-Share (267%) and the IA UK Equity Income peer group (309%). It has outperformed its benchmark in 97% of rolling five-year periods since launch to 30 April 2025.
Investment manager Nick Shenton said: “The fund has created a lot of value over two and a half decades and our investment process has been proven to work in a variety of different market environments, which we believe is a rare feat.”
Andy Marsh, who co-manages the Artemis Income fund, said: “Our mantra is cashflow first, dividends second. We’re looking for companies with mispriced long-term cashflows that are creating durable value for all stakeholders. We don’t think labels such as growth or value make much sense and instead we look at what a company is fundamentally doing, the strength and durability of its cashflow, and how it compares with its peers.”
