Murray Income manager Charles Luke highlights a trio of reasons why the UK market looks compelling at present, while also discussing the importance of focusing on quality companies when there is so much noise. We delve deeper into some of the companies in his portfolio, including a genetics company working on virus resistant pigs and a familiar FTSE 250 name that is set to benefit from an Amazon film and TV series. We also discuss the benefits of a strategy combining quality and income and why having some international exposure is important for the trust.
