Investment process


The objective is long term capital growth by generally investing in European companies that constitute the bottom third in terms of market capitalisation. Medium and larger cap stocks can be used to increase the liquidity or for defensive reasons through difficult periods.
The key selection criteria is detailed fundamental research and intensive company meetings. The flexible approach includes both value and growth stocks.
An unusual portfolio management feature is live monitoring of risk exposures (by sector, markets, geographical, theme) and price performance with the aim of identifying changes in market sentiment.

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. Any yields quoted cannot be taken as a reliable indicator 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. Prevailing tax rates and relief are dependent on your individual circumstances and are subject to change.
