UK strategies

Why invest in the UK?

Our approach

Artemis’ approach to investing in the UK reflects our belief that experienced and active managers can identify and exploit opportunities.

Each of our UK equity funds is distinctive and has a clear investment objective.
Artemis managers are benchmark-aware, not benchmark-driven.
We only buy a share if we believe that it is undervalued, not because it represents a significant proportion of the index.

Our UK funds

Artemis offers a range of strategies investing primarily in the UK. They are all different but all aim to outperform the market and produce long-term returns for our clients.

Artemis SmartGARP UK Equity

UK-focused
Systematic approach
Seeks long-term capital growth

Drawing on Artemis' in-house software tool, SmartGARP, the strategy seeks long-term capital growth by investing in attractively valued companies, mainly in the UK. SmartGARP screens companies’ finances to identify potential winners. Before investing, the manager carries out research to ensure the investment story is valid. As a result, the strategy may be suitable for investors who want an objective, systematic approach to investment.

Artemis UK Smaller Companies

Accesses growth potential of smaller companies
A flexible and active approach

This fund aims to achieve capital growth over five years by harnessing the growth potential of smaller companies, which tend to outperform their larger peers over the long term. The manager exploits the ‘smaller companies effect’ by investing in stocks drawn from the bottom 10% of the UK market by size. A flexible approach to portfolio construction means that the fund’s largest holdings are those in which the manager has the highest degree of conviction – not necessarily those that are largest in size.
