Our Investment Process

The Liontrust Global Innovation team invests in innovative companies based on their strongly-held belief that innovation is the biggest driver of stock returns
The Liontrust GF Global Dividend Fund invests in innovative global leading companies: best-in-class companies, continually innovating to stay ahead, grow their dividends and deliver high long-term stock returns

The team looks for four characteristics in every company in which it invests: innovation that creates value for customers, barriers to competition that capture value for shareholders, good management and strong returns on invested capital

While the Fund aims to achieve high returns and outperform the market over the long-term it may underperform over the shorter term due to macroeconomic volatility

6 (Please refer to the Fund PRIIP KID for further detail on how this is calculated)
Active

The Fund uses the MSCI World Index (the “Benchmark”) for performance comparison purposes. The Fund is considered to be actively managed in reference to the Benchmark by virtue of the fact that the Benchmark is not used to define the portfolio composition of the Fund, and the Fund may be wholly invested in securities which are not constituents of the Benchmark. The Benchmark is also used for income target purposes, as stated in the objective.

The Benchmark is designed to capture the large and mid cap segments across 23 developed market countries.

Key Risks 

Past performance does not predict future returns. You may get back less than you originally invested. Overseas investments may carry a higher currency risk. They are valued by reference to their local currency which may move up or down when compared to the currency of the Fund. The Fund may encounter liquidity constraints from time to time. The spread between the price you buy and sell shares will reflect the less liquid nature of the underlying holdings. Outside of normal conditions, the Fund may hold higher levels of cash which may be deposited with several credit counterparties (e.g.international banks). A credit risk arises should one or more of these counterparties be unable to return the deposited cash. Counterparty Risk: any derivative contract, including FX hedging, may be at risk if the counterparty fails. ESG Risk: In reference to any component (where applicable) of a fund's investment process that uses external ESG data, there may be limitations to the availability, completeness or accuracy of ESG information from third-party providers, or inconsistencies in the consideration of ESG factors across different third party data providers, given the evolving nature of ESG. There is no guarantee that an absolute return will be generated over a three year time period or within another time period. The level of income is not guaranteed.
