Investment process


Portfolio construction is bottom-up and team members operate as sector specialists utilising a stock-rating system. The focused coverage list is around 350 companies and each is awarded an aggregate score based on an assessment of management, competitive advantage, attractiveness of industry, earnings surprise potential (short term and long term), EPS growth and valuation. The focus on bottom-up stock selection means that company visits are high at over 1500 a year. The core list of best ideas comprises 80-100 stocks and these are applied across all similar mainstream accounts resulting in a 85% commonality. Stock selection outside of the core list must still be from the universe of companies identified in the first stage of the process.

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.
