Fund Objective

The Fund aims to achieve capital growth and income in excess of the FTSE All Share Gross Total Return index (after fees have been deducted) over a three to five-year period by investing in equity and equity related securities of UK companies. The Fund is actively managed and invests at least 80% of its assets in a concentrated range of equity and equity related securities of UK companies. These are companies that are incorporated, headquartered or have their principal business activities in the UK. The Fund typically holds 30 to 50 companies. The Fund's approach is grounded in the belief that sentiment drives share prices in the short term, such that companies with strong long-term prospects often become undervalued by the market. The Investment Manager looks to invest in the undervalued companies that have scope for positive change thereby realizing the valuation anomaly over the medium to long term. The fund may also invest directly or indirectly in other securities (including in other asset classes), countries, regions, industries or currencies, collective investment schemes (including Schroder funds), warrants and money market instruments, and hold cash. The fund may use derivatives with the aim of reducing risk or managing the fund more efficiently.
