Freedom to invest without constraints across regions, sectors and market capitalisation, accessing both developed and emerging markets.

Strength in research

Risks to be aware of

This fund is suitable for investors who can tolerate higher levels of risk and volatility in return for higher returns over a long-term investment horizon. Investors could lose some or all their capital and should read the Prospectus for a full description of all risks. Investment risks: Investment in equities, portfolio concentration and currencies.

Investment approach

The ability of high-quality companies to sustain above-average growth and returns is often underestimated, meaning that potential long-term winners trade at a discount to their intrinsic value. We pursue a bottom-up approach, thoroughly analysing both company fundamentals and industry prospects to identify those companies that have a truly sustainable competitive advantage and the ability to maintain pricing power over the long run.
Looking only at individual companies in isolation is not enough. To truly understand how a company is positioned, a detailed knowledge of the industry landscape is essential. We use Porter’s Five Forces, the business strategy tool developed by Harvard professor Michael Porter, to assess the competitiveness of different industries.
