Investment process


The aim is to produce capital growth by investing in a portfolio of UK listed smaller companies. The benchmark for the fund is the Hoare Govett Smaller Companies index.
The manager invests in a focused portfolio of stocks aiming to identify good quality companies ahead of an improvement, that is, at a point in their business cycle where their true worth is not fully recognised by the stockmarket. Favoured company characteristics include: experienced and well-motivated management; good cash generation to finance ongoing development allied with a progressive dividend policy and sound operational and financial controls.

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.
