Price (Acc)
These are the shares in the fund that don’t pay out an income to clients. Any dividends – the money a company can pay out to its investors – are reinvested into companies in the fund. Despite no income, the shares should be worth more over time. Good incentive, eh?

Annual management charge
This is how much the fund management company charges to run the fund. It’s like paying a babysitter, dog sitter or house sitter (that makes well-informed, heavily researched changes to improve your baby/dog/house when needed).

Yield
How much the fund is currently paying out in income to investors. It’s NOT to be confused with the overall growth of a fund – a very different thing indeed. It’s also NOT a guarantee of future pay-outs, just a snapshot. This is more what it’s not than what it is…
The fund targets long term capital growth from predominantly large cap companies that are either based in or operate in continental Europe. The portfolio is largely shaped by sector themes, identified by the managers from their knowledge of global industries and from their macroeconomic views. However, the portfolio also includes stocks that are identified on their own merits, particularly in mid cap companies where the manager believes there is more scope to add value.

Investment process
The process begins from identifying stock or sector themes that would generate growing customer demand. Then the manager looks for potential winners in their respective business fields that have enough capacity and abilities to grow. The universe of some 600 companies is screened, using various valuation metrics, such as EV/Sales, EV/EBIT Margin, P/E and dividend yield to identify low-valued stocks. Among the latter the team looks for businesses set to or undergoing change. When a structural reason to change is identified, it becomes a catalyst for a change in valuation. Regular company meetings are an essential part of the investment process, allowing Bennett to gain insights into the businesses he invests in. These meetings serve either to validate or change Bennett's investment thesis on a company. The manager constructs the fund to hold approximately 50-60 stocks. The major themes used for this fund will be similar to those used for the Henderson European Focus fund that Bennett also runs. However, the Selected Opportunities fund is run with a greater awareness of the benchmark.

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.
