Capital at risk. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. The value of investments and the income derived from them may fall as well as rise. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested and may lose money.
About the fund
The fund aims to provide a total return (the combination of capital growth and income) over the long term (defined as five years) by investing in the shares of companies from around the world.
The fund will invest typically at least 80% of its assets (directly or indirectly) by value in global equities.
The portfolio will include between 70-90 stocks.
Investment approach
The fund will aim to invest in high-quality companies that can grow returns consistently at valuations that are attractive and we believe should lead to outperformance over the long term.
We look for companies which in our opinion:
- demonstrate an enduring competitive advantage,
- benefit from clear long-term growth trends,
- benefit from superior financial strength, with a strong balance sheet
- are trading at attractive valuations.
The fund will normally have significant allocations to developed markets but may also invest in emerging markets (typical exposure of 5% but may be up to 20%).
Sustainability
We believe that the primary role of sustainable investment is to drive positive change and this is best achieved by pushing companies to do more to address the major challenges facing us today.
We aim to manage our clients’ investments in a way that aligns with their values and to do this we consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in our listed equity investment process and go beyond the boundaries of traditional investor engagement to drive change. The FCA has introduced sustainable investment labels to help investors find products that have a specific sustainability goal. This product does not have a UK sustainable investment label because it does not have a sustainability goal.
