Standard and Poor's 3 star rating

Rathbone Global Opportunities Fund

Definition of product

  • Aggressive stockpicking
  • Truly flexible mandate in terms of company size, geographies and company type
  • Focused portfolio of undiscovered growth companies
  • Identification of strong global themes, early

Fund objective

The objective of the fund is to provide above average long-term capital growth from a global portfolio. The fund will be able to invest in any transferable security in all recognised world financial markets. The income yield will, at best, be minimal.

Investment style

This is a stockpicking fund that invests in companies with star quality that are unrecognised by the market. These are innovative businesses that consistently beat expectations, outclass their competitors and serve a rapidly growing market. Our approach is entirely flexible in terms of company size, sector and geographic location – a key strength. This is an aggressively-managed fund that takes a responsible approach to risk.

Why invest?

  • A flexible approach puts us in the best position to make the most of investment opportunities
  • Investing in the success stories of tomorrow, today!
