Fund objective
The objective of the fund is to achieve capital growth from investment in shares temporarily out of favour with the market in which significant recovery is expected. Investment may be in special situations in all economic sectors worldwide. The income yield is likely to be low.
Investment style
The fund invests in companies which have a quality management team, and which are competitive in markets that cannot easily be entered by rivals. There are no restrictions in terms of company size. Investments will be in companies in growing economic areas which are temporarily out of favour with the market, or of unrecognised value, and which have a proven earnings record. The manager seeks to identify what might trigger an upward price movement in the company, and the timescale involved.
