Fund manager: Greg Aldridge
Products available: ISA, OEIC & Savings Plan
The Fund invests in a wide range of international equities (excluding UK) with the sole objective of capital growth. The geographical split of the portfolio will vary according to market conditions.
The Fund’s emphasis is placed on identifying growth sectors and themes within one vast, international stockmarket. The UK is formally excluded from the portfolio. We seek to identify companies that exhibit the following qualities: strong competitive edge and sustainable market share (leadership in a niche market, natural barriers to entry, technological advantage); a proven business model; financial strength (strong balance sheet, good revenue growth); and low valuations.
