INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund aims to provide capital growth over the long term (5 years or more).
More
The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in shares (also known as equities) of smaller companies, in any industry, in the UK. Companies will be incorporated, headquartered, or deriving significant revenue from, the UK. The Fund may also invest in other assets including cash and other shares. 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 Numis Smaller Companies ex Investment Companies Index, which is broadly representative of the companies in which it may invest, as this can provide a useful comparator for assessing the Fund's performance. 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 Smaller Companies sector average, which is based on a peer group of broadly similar funds, may also provide a useful comparator.
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.
