Fund Objective

The Fund aims to provide a return, from a combination of capital growth and income over the long term. Performance target: To outperform the FTSE All Share Index, after the deduction of charges, over any 5 year period. The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in a concentrated portfolio of shares (also known as equities) of companies, of any size, in any industry, in the UK. Companies will be incorporated, headquartered, or deriving significant revenue from, the UK. The portfolio may be concentrated in terms of its number of holdings and/or the size of its largest holdings. The investment manager may use derivatives (complex financial instruments) with the aim of making investment gains in line with the Fund’s objective, to reduce risk or to manage the Fund more efficiently. The Fund is actively managed with reference to the FTSE All Share Index, which is broadly representative of the companies in which it may invest, as this forms the basis of the Fund’s performance target. The investment manager has discretion to choose investments for the Fund with weightings different to the index or not in the index. As an additional means of assessing the performance of the Fund, the IA UK All Companies sector average, which is based on a peer group of broadly similar funds, may also provide a useful comparator.
