The world-leading British companies you’ve never heard of

UK equity markets are home to a remarkable number of world-leading companies that most people would completely fail to recognise. That’s because these businesses operate in specialist niche areas. Buy them at the right price and some of them have the potential to generate handsome long-term returns. By way of illustration, here are three, which we hold in the Artemis UK Smaller Companies Fund and Artemis UK Future Leaders plc.

AB Dynamics

Let’s start with AB Dynamics. This is the market leader in automotive testing. It offers car manufacturers advanced track and laboratory facilities to help them put prototypes through rigorous specialist tests. It also offers high-performance driving robots and wireless telemetry to enable accurate and repeatable testing.
