Investment process


The aim of the Fund is to provide a total return consistent with that of smaller company shares in the UK through direct and indirect investment
mainly in companies which, at the time of initial investment, are outside the top 350 companies by market capitalisation.
A fundamental but flexible style is adopted which combines both top down and bottom up views. The top down process is essentially more of an ideas generator, in that the weekly and monthly UK team meetings will highlight potential growth areas. The primary focus is on a core holding of growth stocks which make up approximately 60% of the portfolio. The remaining 40% in generally invested in shorter term trading opportunities. This might include selecting companies which might benefit from a change in the " business cycle". Stocks are reviewed on a continuous basis and company meetings are considered essential - this will typically lead to around 300 company contacts a year.

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.
