Overview of MARLBOROUGH UK PRIMARY OPPORTUNITIES

The modest size of this fund allows a great degree of flexibility for Bob Brown, its highly experienced manager. Taking an emphasis on new issues and share placings provides an opportunity to generate positive returns from the 'wholesale' market. The manager favours a multi-cap approach and whilst long-term performance has been strong, a small cap bias can lead to volatile performance.

Investment process


The fund's objective is to achieve a total return in excess of that produced by the FTSE All Share Index, through investment in a portfolio of UK companies across the capitalisation spectrum. The portfolio is typically overweight mid and smaller sized companies and Brown will often look to invest in companies where he sees opportunity for growth in earnings in excess of the market average.
The emphasis for investment is on 'quality’ companies with successful track records, while stocks are generally purchased through IPOs, placings and new issues at a lower cost than in the secondary market. In this sense the fund is unique and the manager is able to leverage off his considerable experience in the City and his extensive book of contacts.
Although the investment style is predominantly growth, the portfolio has an income requirement and this leads to the inclusion of some 'value' stocks.

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.
