Investment process

The fund's objective is to achieve capital growth by investing in a portfolio of North American securities. 90% of research is carried out in-house, with external research used primarily as a source of ideas. The investment process begins with a filter on quality: the team look for businesses with profitable growth prospects, the balance sheet to support expansion and that are run in the interests of all shareholders. Quality of management is also important - the team will not invest until they have met the management.
Companies that have passed the quality filter are then filtered based on price. The team look at valuations based on standard financial ratios, compared to market price and compared to the valuations of similar companies.
Portfolio turnover is generally low - the team will top-slice when valuations become stretched, and will sell on changes of personnel, business direction or in the competitive landscape.

The value of your investments and the income from them can go down as well as up, and you can get back less than you originally invested. Past performance or any yields quoted should not be considered reliable indicators of future returns. Before investing in funds please check the specific risk factors on the key features document or refer to our risk warning notice as some funds can be high risk or complex; they may also have risks relating to the geographical area, industry sector and/or underlying assets in which they invest. Prevailing tax rates and relief are dependent on your individual circumstances and are subject to change.
