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 investment in a concentrated portfolio of mainly large and mid-cap UK equities. Selected overseas companies and small cap stocks may also feature in the fund. Manager Steve Davies looks for a combination of growth and recovery stocks; these can be selected on a stock specific basis, as plays on long-term economic themes such as domestic UK consumption, or based on his contrarian views.

Investment process
The manager's investment universe is around 200 of the UK’s largest and most liquid stocks, though selected small caps and overseas holdings may also feature. Ideas can come from (contrarian) macro-economic views, long term themes or can be stock specific. All stocks must fit into a recovery or growth pool as well as valued below the manager's two year forecasted valuation: •Recovery: companies that have suffered a sharp fall in price and/or profits, that are on an attractive valuation and where there is a catalyst for change such as new management. •Growth: generally companies with sustainable, predictable organic sales growth, that are cash generative and on reasonable valuations. Analysis includes both quantitative and qualitative work. As part of the latter the manager consults with industry experts and, unusually, non-executive directors of portfolio companies. He believes this gives different insights on businesses and also enables him to express views on how they are being run. The manager sets two year price targets for each stock held and either sells or updates this when the target is hit – he believes this provides a sell discipline.
Manager Steve Davies took full control of this fund in May 2015, but had worked on it from 2007, initially as an analyst and then as co-manager (from 2013). He also has a strong record on the Jupiter Undervalued Assets fund which he ran from 2012 to 2015.

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.
