Artemis Income (Exclusions) Fund

The fund follows the same approach as the long-established Artemis Income Fund, but with an investment process that excludes stocks in the tobacco, gambling, weapons and fossil fuels sectors.

The Artemis Income (Exclusions) Fund’s aim is simple – to grow both income and capital over at least a five year period, and to provide a total return in excess of the FTSE All-Share Index, after fees, on an annualised basis over rolling five-year periods.

The fund invests mainly in companies listed in the UK, but has the flexibility to invest overseas when attractive opportunities arise. Its holdings tend to be stable, well-established businesses

• Regular income: the managers look for companies with a strong free cashflow and that are likely to produce a good dividend yield
• An experienced team: managers Adrian Frost, Nick Shenton and Andy Marsh have many years’ experience of managing income funds
• Well-diversified: the fund holds a portfolio of typically 45 to 65 stocks and is not overly exposed to any one industry or company. Position sizes reflect the upside potential in a stock and the managers’ level of conviction – not a company’s weighting in the index
• Sector exclusions: companies that derive more than 20% revenue from tobacco, gambling, weapons and fossil fuels are excluded from the portfolio
• ESG integration: the fund integrates ESG factors; for more information, visit Integrating investment and stewardship
