BNY Mellon Multi-Asset Growth

This international fund invests almost entirely in equities with typically around 50% UK exposure. Though a stockpicking fund, the process also incorporates investment themes from Newton's strategy group such as globalisation. Though Newton have a strong global team and a high quality process we have higher conviction in other international equity funds.

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.
