The fund's investment objective is to achieve capital growth by investing in UK smaller companies.
In addition, many have unique products and services that are in strong demand across the world. We employ a consistent and straightforward investment approach in this fund, looking specifically for companies with the ability to increase profits by raising prices. Many companies have the ability to increase their profits, but this is often achieved through risky new investments or through one-off cost cuts.We aim to focus on those with a very strong franchise and a unique product/service for which demand is very strong. These traits create pricing power, which, in our view, enables the company to grow profits in the safest possible way. This approach has proven to deliver exceptional returns over the longer term.
