The Brunner Investment Trust was formed from the Brunner family’s interest in the sale of Brunner, Mond & Co, the largest of the four companies which came to form ICI in 1926. The Trust has been managed by Allianz Global Investors (formerly Kleinwort Benson) since inception.

Today, the trust is managed by Lucy Macdonald and Jeremy Thomas, has £275m in assets under management, and although past performance is no guide to the future and income can go up as well as down, it has a 40 year track record of dividend growth.
