    About this fund

    Fund objectives

    • The Fund seeks to provide an increase in the value of investments over the long-term (more than 5 years).
    • The Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in shares of U.K. companies, being those which are incorporated, domiciled or conduct a significant portion of their business in the U.K. Such companies may also be listed in the U.K. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund's assets will be invested in shares of such companies.
    • The Fund is actively managed and uses a multi-manager structure with two investment advisers separately managing part of the Fund's assets. Each investment adviser uses their expertise to pick investments to achieve the Fund's objective.
    • The Fund may invest in companies of all sizes and across a range of different economic sectors and industry groups. These investments are chosen mainly on the basis of an investment approach that focuses on analysing individual shares rather than stock markets.
    • The Fund may also have exposure to bonds and other similar securities, other collective investment schemes (which themselves invest in securities which are consistent with the Fund's objective), money market instruments, cash deposits and warrants. Money market instruments are investments usually issued by banks or governments that are a short term loan to the issuer by the buyer. Warrants provide the holder with the right, but not the obligation, to purchase a share at a fixed price or amount at a fixed time in the future.
    • The Fund attempts to remain fully invested and hold small amounts of cash except in extraordinary market, political or similar conditions where the Fund may temporarily depart from this investment policy to avoid losses. The FTSE All-Share Index (the “Index”) serves as a reference benchmark for performance comparison. Whilst the Fund may hold investments that are components of the Index, the Index is not considered during portfolio construction and the investment adviser will not manage the extent to which the Fund's investments differ from the Index.
