Overview of SCHRODER GLOBAL ALPHA PLUS

This international equity fund distinguishes itself from its peers with an unconstrained, very focused (30 stocks) portfolio. As a result, performance is likely to differ substantially from that of the benchmark and may also be volatile. The fund is interesting but the managers' track record on an existing offshore fund has been mixed so we are not rating this at present.

Investment process


The fund's objective is to provide capital growth through investment in equities and other securities of companies worldwide. The fund has a high performance mandate, targeting outperformance of 7% p.a. over the MSCI World index over an economic cycle from a concentrated, unconstrained portfolio. The fund is run by a dedicated global team which includes the portfolio managers and global sector analysts, all of whom feed off the research of Schroders' regional teams. The managers take a long term approach to investment, looking for quality growth stocks with sustainable competitive advantage and buying them at attractive valuations. Though primarily a stockpicking fund, three long-term themes provide a backdrop to decision making; currently these are climate change, demographic change and the supercycle (emerging markets growth).

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.
