This factsheet should be viewed in conjunction with the Key Investor Information
Document (KIID) as both provide important information. The KIID is accessible from
the link on the right.
Factsheets contain information about the features of the fund such as the investment
objective, fund region and past performance.
Some funds offer income units, accumulation units or both. The unit type you choose
will affect the way income generated from the fund is treated. With income units,
income is paid into your nominated account. With accumulation units income is retained
within the fund, increasing the value of your holding.
All Investments carry an element of risk. In particular, the value of Investments
and any income from them can go down as well as up and you may not get back what
you originally invested.
In addition, investing in funds is subject to specific risks. Details
of these risks are contained in the Key Investor Information Document which is
designed to provide important information about funds as well as the risks involved.
Fund Objective
To achieve capital growth by investing in companies, primarily of UK origin where the Manager believes above average returns can be realised.
