Overview

Investment Approach


The Fund aims to achieve a return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund’s assets, which reflects the return of the equity market in the United Kingdom.

The Fund is passively managed and invests in equity securities (e.g. shares) listed and traded on regulated markets in the United Kingdom.

The return of the Fund will be compared with the return on an index which will initially be the MSCI UK Index (with net dividends), the Fund’s benchmark index.

Important Information: Capital at Risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

All financial investments involve an element of risk. Therefore, the value of your investment and the income from it will vary and your initial investment amount cannot be guaranteed. Investment risk is concentrated in specific sectors, countries, currencies or companies. This means the Fund is more sensitive to any localised economic, market, political or regulatory events.
