Investment process
The fund’s objective is to achieve capital and income growth from a portfolio of widely diversified international securities. All stocks in the portfolio are derived from the Research Recommended List, a portfolio selected by Newton's global analysts. Based in London, the analysts are organised by sector with each comparing the stocks in their sector on a global basis. Newton's team of global fund managers then adapt the Research Recommended List into an idealised model portfolio which represents their best ideas. This list is further adapted by the fund manager to reflect the individual fund's objectives. There are no geographic constraints, but around 50% of the fund is typically invested in the UK. The reference benchmark is the WM Private Clients Growth, which consists predominantly of equities but includes some bonds. The process also incorporates long term themes,such as globalisation, identified by Newton's strategy group.

About the MRI
Our unique indicator: the Bestinvest Manager Record Index (MRI) measures the likelihood that the fund manager is adding value through their decisions. It is based on their performance record over the course of their career, adjusted for the amount of risk taken. MRI is an important contributor to our fund rating system but it is also vital to take account of qualitative factors. It is also very important to select funds to form a cohesive portfolio with an appropriate overall risk level.
