Temple Bar - Update from QuotedData
13 January 2026
Premium investing
Temple Bar Investment Trust (TMPL), managed by Ian Lance and Nick Purves, outperformed again in 2025, delivering a 33.9% NAV return and a 45.3% share price return, well ahead of both UK and global markets. The shares ended the year at a premium to asset value, which has been unusual in the investment company sector recently, and allowed the fund to sell some previously repurchased shares back into the market.
The managers focus only on investing in companies with clear potential to increase shareholder value. In 2025, a more positive mood towards the UK market, where TMPL has 70% of its assets, helped performance. Ian and Nick still see the UK as undervalued and continue to find companies trading below their real value. They are optimistic that TMPL's strong performance can continue into 2026 and beyond.
