Fund commentary
Summary review
Fund lagged as overweights in consumer discretionary and tech hurt, while the underweight in energy added drag. Clarkson and WPP helped, but gains couldn’t offset sector‑allocation headwinds.
Fees and expenses
Portfolio
Risks
Investment Risk
The value of an investment and any income from it can go down as well as up. Investors may not get back the original amount invested.
Full information on risks applicable to the Fund are in the Prospectus and the Key Investor Information Document (KIID).
Ongoing Charges
This Share Class integrates Economies of Scale discounts to the Fund Management Fee (“FMF”) which is a component of the Ongoing Charge Figure. Consequently, when a Fund reaches a certain size (a pre-defined “trigger point”) a discount will automatically apply to the FMF. However, at all other times the FMF will be charged at the rate as set out in the Fund's prospectus. For further details on the Economies of Scale discounts and the trigger points at which they apply, please refer to the Fund's prospectus.
