Overview

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Fund aims to provide capital growth over the long term (5 years or more).
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 net assets in listed shares (also known as equities) or equity-related instruments of small capitalisation companies, in any industry, in any country. Equity-related instruments may include depositary receipts. In this context, small capitalisation companies are those whose market capitalisation, at the time of initial purchase, are within the range of market capitalisations of companies included in the MSCI World Small Cap Index
The Fund may also invest in other assets including Collective Investment Schemes (including those managed by Janus Henderson), 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. The Investment Manager has discretion to choose investments for the Fund with weightings different to the index or not in the index with a maximum of 20% of the Funds net assets in non index companies.

Documents

  • ​The value of the Funds and the income from them is not guaranteed and may fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you originally invested.
  • ​Past performance does not predict future returns.
  • Third party data is believed to be reliable, but its completeness and accuracy is not guaranteed.
  • Shares/Units can lose value rapidly, and typically involve higher risks than bonds or money market instruments. The value of your investment may fall as a result.
  • Shares of small and mid-size companies can be more volatile than shares of larger companies, and at times it may be difficult to value or to sell shares at desired times and prices, increasing the risk of losses.
  • The Fund may use derivatives with the aim of reducing risk or managing the portfolio more efficiently. However this introduces other risks, in particular, that a derivative counterparty may not meet its contractual obligations.
  • If the Fund holds assets in currencies other than the base currency of the Fund, or you invest in a share/unit class of a different currency to the Fund (unless hedged, i.e. mitigated by taking an offsetting position in a related security), the value of your investment may be impacted by changes in exchange rates.
  • Securities within the Fund could become hard to value or to sell at a desired time and price, especially in extreme market conditions when asset prices may be falling, increasing the risk of investment losses.
  • The Fund could lose money if a counterparty with which the Fund trades becomes unwilling or unable to meet its obligations, or as a result of failure or delay in operational processes or the failure of a third party provider.
  • Some documents are available in alternative formats. Click here for information on how to request them.
