Investment process

The fund’s objective is above average capital growth from a portfolio of carefully selected smaller, quoted UK companies.
This fund aims to outperform its benchmark by using a core-satellite approach, whereby the portfolio will equally invest in long term analyst led ideas and shorter term more aggressive ideas where there might be a market anomaly.
Core companies are generally cash generative with defendable business models, although fast growing companies will also be held.
UBS benchmark the fund against the Numis Smaller Companies Index.
