Objective
To grow both income and capital over a five year period.
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 strategy
- The fund is actively managed.
- The manager favours companies which exhibit strong levels of free cashflow generation (cash that is left over after a company pays for its operating and capital expenditures which can be returned to investors through dividends and share buybacks) relative to other companies in the market, dividend distribution and dividend growth.
- Detailed financial review of companies and wider economic analysis is also undertaken.

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.
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.
Emerging markets risk
Compared to more established economies, investments in emerging markets may be subject to greater volatility due to differences in generally accepted accounting principles, less governed standards or from economic or political instability. Under certain market conditions assets may be difficult to sell.
Income risk
The payment of income and its level is not guaranteed.
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). For more information visit our Glossary of terms.
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.
Income investing is inherently biased to mature, profitable companies. We therefore consider ESG characteristics/integration to be a factor that determines a company’s ability to support its free cashflow and dividends over the medium-term. ESG risks and opportunities that we believe to be over- or under-estimated by the market are another source of mispricing that we can exploit. Our investment approach tends to be contrarian in nature and valuation sensitive. This often precludes us from investing in ESG leaders, but we try to avoid companies with poor ESG credentials as these companies can often be value traps. We have, however, found that ESG improvement can be a powerful driver of re-rating.
Our TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures) fund-level reports provide our clients with transparency on certain climate-related metrics for our investment products.
We have produced a consolidated report which includes TCFD disclosures for all of our UK funds, along with an explanation of the climate metrics which we are disclosing for each fund.
