Overview

Quarterly update

Watch the investment team recap this quarter.

(Note: Filmed in April 2025).

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Fund aims to provide capital growth over the long term.
Performance target: To outperform the MSCI World Small Cap Index, after the deduction of charges, over any 5 year period.

More

The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in shares (equities) and equity-related securities of smaller companies, in any industry, in any country.
The Fund may also invest in other assets including cash and money market instruments.
The Investment Manager may use derivatives (complex financial instruments) to reduce risk or to manage the Fund more efficiently.
The Fund is actively managed with reference to the MSCI World Small Cap Index, which is broadly representative of the companies in which it may invest, as this forms the basis of the Fund's performance target and the level above which performance fees may be charged (if applicable). The Investment Manager has discretion to choose investments for the Fund with weightings different to the index or not in the index, but at times the Fund may hold investments similar to the index.

Less

The value of an investment and the income from it can fall as well as rise as a result of market and currency fluctuations and you may not get back the amount originally invested.
Potential investors must read the prospectus, and where relevant, the key investor information document before investing.

  • Les actions/parts peuvent perdre rapidement de la valeur et impliquent généralement des niveaux de risques plus élevés que les obligations ou les instruments du marché monétaire. La valeur de votre placement peut par conséquent chuter.
  • Les actions des sociétés petites et moyennes peuvent être plus volatiles que celles des grandes sociétés, et il peut parfois s’avérer difficile de valoriser ou de vendre des actions au prix ou dans le délai souhaités, ce qui augmente le risque de pertes.

  • Les titres du Fonds peuvent devenir difficiles à valoriser ou à céder au prix ou au moment désiré, surtout dans des conditions de marché extrêmes où les prix des actifs peuvent chuter, ce qui augmente le risque de pertes sur investissements.
  • Le Fonds peut perdre de l’argent si une contrepartie avec laquelle le Fonds négocie ne veut ou ne peut plus honorer ses obligations, ou en raison d’un échec ou d’un retard dans les processus opérationnels ou de la défaillance d’un fournisseur tiers.
