Investment process

This fund primarily invests in companies who have been or are closely related to privatisation as well as demutualisations. An active approach to sectors and stocks is undertaken by the manager but within a framework of sound analysis, combined with a flexible approach to valuation at the company level.
Given the above remit, exposure to the US is below average with asset allocation focused on Europe where currency hedging is also undertaken.

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.
