Overview of SKANDIA LIONTRUST INCOME LF

The investment objective of the fund is to provide a high level of income, with capital values keeping pace with inflation. Gary West and James Inglis-Jones took over this fund in 2009 following the departure from Liontrust of the highly regarded Jeremy Lang.

Investment process


The fund invests in a portfolio of high yielding UK companies, aiming for a high level of income and capital growth in excess of the FTSE All-Share Index over five years. Like the managers’ other funds, the process is based on their belief that the profit forecasts of company managers and stockmarkets are inaccurate, and that these forecasting errors are predictable. The managers first target companies with high dividend yields, believing that these often reflect low profit growth expectations – they screen for (1)Yields at least 2% above long-dated gilts; (2)Yields at least 2% above long-dated index-linked gilts; or (3)Yields above long dated index-linked gilts. The managers then search amongst these stocks for companies with strong cashflows, as they believe these are good indicators of strong growth in future profits.

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.
