Overview

Investment Approach

The Fund aims to provide a return on your investment (generated through an increase in the value of the assets held by the Fund) over the long-term (5 years or more). The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities (e.g. shares) and equity-related securities of companies domiciled in, or whose main business is in, global developed markets. The Fund may also, when determined appropriate, invest in other equity securities and equity-related securities and other asset classes to seek to achieve its investment objective and for liquidity purposes. The Investment Manager (IM) uses fundamental, company specific research to identify and select securities that, in its opinion, have the potential to produce attractive long-term growth. The Fund’s portfolio is expected to be concentrated (i.e. a less diverse portfolio). The Fund has an unconstrained investment style (i.e. it will not take a benchmark index into account when selecting the Fund’s investments).

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.

The value of equities and equity-related securities can be affected by daily stock market movements. Other influential factors include political, economic news, company earnings and significant corporate events. 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. The Fund seeks to exclude companies engaging in certain activities inconsistent with ESG criteria. Investors should therefore make a personal ethical assessment of the Fund’s ESG screening prior to investment. Such ESG screening may adversely affect the value of the Fund’s investments compared to a fund without such screening.
