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?

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…
This fund invests mainly in high quality US companies and aims to achieve an income of 110% of that produced by the S&P 500, however, this is a target and not a rule. The manager follows a bottom up approach to company investment and favours companies that consistently beat their cost of capital. The fund has a bias to large cap stocks.

Investment process
The fund aims to achieve long-term capital growth and income by investing in North American securities. Investing primarily in blue chip companies the manager follows a bottom up approach, meaning that the investment decision is based ultimately on the individual quality of a given company. While the manager typically targets growth stocks, in practice he is pragmatic and so is happy to vary the style bias of the portfolio. Once a broad theme has been identified the manager looks for stocks that will consistently beat their cost of capital, thus increasing the scope for providing investors with superior returns. Typically, this means identifying uniqueness in a company’s business model. Therefore companies which feature strong barriers to entry or intellectual capital are sought.

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.
