Investment process


This is a global thematic long only equity fund (UCITS, distributor status) managed by Mark Hawtin - a highly experienced technology manager with over 25 years’ experience.

• Proven track record of producing consistently strong returns in the sector, with stock-picking expertise to identify ‘game changers’ - prior to joining GAM he managed one of Europe's largest TMT funds whilst a partner at Marshall Wace.

• Innovative investment style blends bottom-up fundamental research to identify mispricings, with technical analysis to exploit trends and trading expertise to realise price changes. Mark ensures the balance between these is managed according to the market environment, whilst maintaining a real focus on understanding, controlling and monitoring portfolio risk.

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. Restricted advice can be provided as part of other services offered by Bestinvest.
