Seven simple lessons from 25 years of Artemis Income

Investment professionals have an unfortunate tendency to overcomplicate matters, which is ironic because complexity and indecision are common bedfellows. In our experience, while investing is never easy, it certainly helps if you start simple and stay simple.

To that end, we have developed some relatively straightforward investment principles during the decades we’ve been managing the Artemis Income Fund, which celebrated its 25th anniversary on 6 June 2025.
Since launch, the fund has outperformed its benchmark – the FTSE All-Share – in 97% of rolling five-year periods since launch to 30 April 2025.*
