Objective

To increase the value of Shareholders’ investments primarily through capital growth.

There is no guarantee that the fund will achieve a positive return over a five-year period or any other time period and your capital is at risk.

Investment policy

The Fund invests principally in equities of companies that are listed, headquartered or that exercise the predominant part of their economic activities in the USA.

The fund may invest in small and mid-cap companies but there is no restriction or constraint to the fund in terms of market capitalisation.

Shares in the following types of companies (held either directly or indirectly via derivatives) are automatically excluded:

Tobacco: companies which derive any revenue from tobacco production;
Weapons: companies:
- involved in the production of controversial weapons (including cluster munitions, landmines, biological and chemical weapons); or
- which derive more than 10% revenue from manufacture or sale of civilian firearms or ammunition;
Coal: companies which derive more than 5% revenue from mining or sale of thermal coal;
Companies that the Investment Manager determines to be in breach of the United Nations Global Compact principles on human rights, labour rights, the environment and anticorruption.

The Fund promotes environmental and/or social characteristics within the meaning of Article 8 of SFDR. The Investment Manager seeks to decrease the Fund’s exposure to climate risk and benefit from the opportunities associated with the transition to a net-zero emissions economy through investing in companies which are actively managing their carbon exposure and setting meaningful targets. Further information is contained in a methodology statement available on the Artemis website at www.artemisfunds.com/methodology-statement. The evaluation of environmental, social and governance factors is determined by the Investment Manager using information provided by the companies (for example company sustainability reports) and third-party data, focusing on scores and metrics which that the Investment Manager considers to be relevant. More information about the environmental or social characteristics for this Fund is available in the pre-contractual disclosure for financial products referred to in Article 8 under SFDR which follow the Fund’s details and which form an integral part of the Prospectus.

It is expected that the portfolio of the Fund will be invested in the equities of between 25 and 40 companies. The Fund may use derivatives and other techniques for hedging and for efficient portfolio management. The Fund's derivatives may include, but are not limited to, futures and forward currency contracts. Subject to the limits set out in the Investment Restrictions, the Fund may also hold ancillary liquid assets for treasury purposes.

The fund may invest up to 10% of its Net Asset Value in other collective investment schemes.

The fund may also hold up to 15% of Net Asset Value in closed-ended Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) listed on Regulated Markets.

*The OCF (ongoing charge figure) covers the annual operating expenses of running the fund. Additional costs may be incurred, such as portfolio transaction costs and transfer taxes, which may reduce performance. It is calculated using the most recent data available. Further information about the fund’s charges can be found in the Key Investor Information Document and by visiting: Charges and costs.

Integrating investment and stewardship

We believe stewardship activities can contribute to better performing companies and therefore our return to clients. These activities encompass environmental, social and governance (ESG) integration, engagement and voting.

ESG factors are considered as part of our ‘Up/Down’ investment process. Key to stock selection is that a risk is only worth taking if the potential reward from owning a stock significantly exceeds the potential loss. The team structure and specialism means that ESG factors are analysed on an industry and company specific basis. Inputs include a range of ESG metrics, analysis and assessments from internal and external research.

SFDR fund sustainability disclosure (PDF)

Under the EU's Sustainable Finance Disclosures Regulation (SFDR), our Luxembourg funds are required to make certain disclosures in regard to their investment processes in order to help investors understand their approach to sustainability. The English version of this document contains the full set of disclosures, whilst versions in other languages contain summaries only.

Risk considerations

Market volatility risk

The value of the fund and any income from it can fall or rise because of movements in stockmarkets, currencies and interest rates, each of which can move irrationally and be affected unpredictably by diverse factors, including political and economic events.

Currency risk

The fund’s assets may be priced in currencies other than the fund base currency. Changes in currency exchange rates can therefore affect the fund's value.

Concentration risk

The fund may have investments concentrated in a limited number of holdings. This can be more risky than holding a wider range of investments.

Charges from capital risk

Where charges are taken wholly or partly out of a fund's capital, distributable income may be increased at the expense of capital, which may constrain or erode capital growth.

ESG risk

The fund may select, sell or exclude investments based on ESG criteria; this may lead to the fund underperforming the broader market or other funds that do not apply ESG criteria. If sold based on ESG criteria rather than solely on financial considerations, the price obtained might be lower than that which could have been obtained had the sale not been required.

Risk and reward profile

The fund is in the category shown due to historic volatility (how much and how quickly the value of shares in the fund may have risen and fallen in the past due to movements in markets, currencies and interest rates). It may not be a reliable indication of the future risk profile of the fund. The figure highlighted in the risk reward profile is the Synthetic Risk and Reward Indicator (SRRI).

Société d'Investissement à Capital Variable (SICAV) funds are investment funds domiciled in Luxembourg. They are authorised and regulated by the Luxembourg based EU regulator, the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF). Artemis Funds (Lux) (the “Company”) are SICAV funds and are therefore not authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”). They are, however, recognised under the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) Overseas Fund Regime (OFR). Potential and current investors in the UK should be aware that, although the Company is recognised by the UK FCA for the purposes of distribution, the activities of the Company, the UK Representative, the Management Company, or the Depositary are not subject to the rules and regulations made under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 for the protection of investors. As a result, UK investors will not be protected by the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) for financial losses suffered as a result of any of the mentioned bodies being unable to meet their liabilities to Shareholders, as these rules generally do not apply to an investment in the Company. In addition, UK investors will not be able to refer a complaint against the mentioned bodies to the UK Financial Ombudsman Service (“FOS”). We recommend that you get independent financial advice before making any investment decisions. The FCA introduced a package of measures during 2024 called the Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR). The Company is not subject to these requirements.
