Artemis SmartGARP UK Equity Fund

The Artemis SmartGARP UK Equity Fund seeks capital growth over five years by investing in companies considered to have both superior potential for growing their earnings and attractive share prices – ‘Growth At a Reasonable Price’. 

The fund draws on SmartGARP^®, Artemis’ in-house tool that systematically analyses company credentials and helps identify potential investment opportunities to the fund manager. The tool helps to promote evidence-driven and timely decisions.

It should be noted that the value of the investments selected by the manager may fall as well as rise with movements in stockmarkets or owing to diverse factors specific to individual companies. This could mean investors may not get back the amount they originally invested. 

• Objective: SmartGARP provides a fact-based framework for comparing the relative attractions of company shares in different markets and industries. It also helps to promote timely – and often against-the-trend – decisions. 
• Far reaching and efficient: its systematic nature allows SmartGARP to analyse over 7,500 stocks in the global universe, meaning there is never a shortage of investment ideas. With such a broad universe, SmartGARP also combats ‘information overload’ by focusing the fund manager’s attention on company shares with attractive financial characteristics. 
• Best of human plus machine: Before investing, the manager deploys expertise honed over decades to carry out detailed research to ensure that the investment story behind a SmartGARP recommendation is valid. 
• Constant evolution: in parallel with assessing potential new opportunities, SmartGARP subjects the fund’s existing holdings to constant scrutiny. This allows the manager to constantly steer the portfolio towards SmartGARP’s best ideas.
