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…
The fund aims to generate superior long-term capital growth (ahead of the MSCI All Countries World Index on a rolling five-year basis#) through investment in global equities. Manager Louise Keeling invests with a focus on supply-side dynamics, buying primarily large and mid-sized companies which have survived economically battered sectors and can now benefit from factors such as reduced competition. As such they are often over-looked by other investors and are trading at a deep discount to their intrinsic value. Its holdings include E-commerce giant Amazon, which dominates supply in its industry, and US supermarket Kroger. Keeling has an active, bottom-up, unconstrained investment approach. She seeks out companies with improving return on investment capital, which are cheap by valuation and have a sustainable future.

Investment process
Keeling believes that mispricing of stocks occurs in downtrodden sectors of the economy. Investors become preoccupied with the short-term pain companies are experiencing and under-estimate the benefit to those surviving businesses of improving supply side dynamics. She identifies industries which have undergone significant capital withdrawals and looks for red flags such as bankruptcies, industry consolidation and significant share price falls. She then looks for out of favour and attractively priced companies – those that “no-one else wants to see”, where return on invested capital is rising as competition reduces. These companies need to be led by managers who have a strong alignment with shareholders. They must be able to grab the supply side opportunity by allocating capital well over the long term. Keeling also looks at valuation factors such as cash flow and sector competition and will only invest in companies trading at greater than a 50% discount to her estimate of intrinsic value. The fund is reasonably concentrated with the top 10 names typically holding around 35% of the portfolio and the top 40 having 85%. The remainder is the “incubator”, stocks where the outcome is more uncertain and so smaller positions are taken.
The fund is managed by seasoned global equity manager Louise Keeling who has a solid track record and a strong set of investment beliefs. She is supported by a three-strong team of global generalist analysts from diverse backgrounds with an average of ten years of experience. Keeling has benefited from the freedom given to her by RWC to design and manage the fund as she sees fit. The result is a differentiated and distinctive investment philosophy, based on the supply side of the capital cycle. All these factors have helped the fund historically outperform or keep up in a broad range of market conditions. For those investors looking for value, it is a heads you win, tails you don’t necessarily lose option.

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.
