Our Investment Process

The fund managers share a consistent philosophy and process and complement each other in style and approach. They work together collaboratively and collectively to capture the breadth of change underway in companies, markets and the world.

Ideas are generated from a wide range of sources, blending company-specific and economic analysis.

The team embraces change, scouring markets for long-term opportunities where companies can exploit change, valuations and/or earnings are supressed by short-term issues and where long-term potential is underestimated.

Deep fundamental research, which embeds environmental, social and governance considerations, is at the heart of their process.

The team has a collegiate culture that encourages active debate. 

The Fund is ‘focused’, containing relatively fewer holdings than those included in their benchmark indexes because the stocks are selected based on the high convictions of the investment team. Whether Fund outperforms or underperforms its benchmark depends on the investment team’s stock selections. While the Fund chooses stocks based on a long-term view of three to five years, they may underperform over the shorter periods because of short-term challenges.

Past performance does not predict future returns. You may get back less than you originally invested. Reference to specific securities is not intended as a recommendation to purchase or sell any investment.

Total return performance figures are calculated net of costs and charges, on a bid price to bid price basis (mid to mid for OEICs) with net income (dividends) reinvested. Where applicable the quartile rank is for the primary share class within the sector. If your investment is made in a currency other than that used in the past performance calculation the return may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations.

Key Risks

Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of an investment and the income generated from it can fall as well as rise and is not guaranteed. You may get back less than you originally invested. The issue of units/shares in Liontrust Funds may be subject to an initial charge, which will have an impact on the realisable value of the investment, particularly in the short term. Investments should always be considered as long term.

Investment in the Fund involves foreign currencies and may be subject to fluctuations in value due to movements in exchange rates.
