Investment process


Neptune consider themselves "business cycle" investors (i.e. they aim to exploit any changes in the economic environment) so therefore take their view on the macroeconomic environment exceptionally seriously. Once this has been formed, the team of fund manager/analysts do a surprising amount of fundamental research on their investable universe, given the size of the company.
The focus is upon large and mid cap stocks, with research carried out internally on a global sector basis. No particular style bias is followed, however due to their "business cycle" philosophy the fund's style will bend in the "prevailing wind".
Strong cash-flow and a healthy balance sheet are a must.

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.
