Investment process


The aim of the Fund is to achieve capital growth for unit holders, with income of secondary importance. The Fund invests principally in a portfolio of quoted UK securities
A flexible style is adopted with value addition through stock selection across all market conditions. The portfolio is concentrated with at least 50% derived from the UK Team's model list.
Identification of good companies (industry, management and accounts) forms a starting point. The identification of good stocks then focuses on changes to growth rate, risk profile and investor perspective. Growth rates are ideally conservative to begin with, the standard deviation of earnings estimates is the quantitative measure of risk while price momentum and newsflow tracks sentiment. Proprietary spreadsheets aid these analyses.

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.
