Past performance is not an indication of future performance.

Capital at risk.

Led by Giles Hargreave, who also manages the Marlborough Special Situations trust, this fund targets UK listed companies below £250m in size at the point of investment. Smaller companies’ shares can be more volatile and less liquid than larger company shares, so smaller companies funds can carry more risk and therefore are suitable for investors seeking a portfolio with higher risk/reward characteristics.

Investment Process

The fund will be actively managed on a total return basis and will typically target UK Smaller Companies with a market capitalisation of between £100-250m million at purchase. The investment process is bottom up driven and value aware. However, the team review the macro economic environment monthly and at times the portfolio may have some thematic orientation, including modest style tilts such as value or growth. Ideas are generated internally, via the broker community and through other external contacts. Hargreave is supported by a team of 8 - the size of the team enables him to monitor a large percentage of the small cap universe. The team carry out all their own analytical work on companies, which includes analysis of financial statements and meeting with company management. Hargreave controls all final investment decisions.
