Aviva Investors – UK Equity Unconstrained Fund B GBP Acc
Fund overview
Objective: The objective of the Fund is to increase the value of the Shareholder's investment over the long term (5 years or more) by investing in shares of UK companies.
Investments: The Fund invests mainly in the equities of UK companies. Specifically, at all times, the Fund invests at least 80% of total net assets (excluding ancillary liquid assets, eligible deposits, money market instruments and money market funds) in equities and equity-related securities of UK companies (incorporated or domiciled in the UK), doing most of their business, or non-UK companies which are listed in the UK or which have significant trading activities in the UK.
Strategy: The Fund is actively managed allowing the Investment Manager the freedom to invest in selected companies of any size, and at any stage of the business cycle (that is consistent with Aviva Investors’ ESG philosophy). This will include investing in market leading and mature companies with the potential for superior earnings growth and sustainable dividends, as well as identifying companies which are out of favour at a particular point in time but where there is a specific opportunity for the company's value to increase in the future.

Fund commentary
Summary review
The UK equity market produced positive returns in the fourth quarter. The FTSE 100 set a new all-time high of just below 10,000 on the penultimate trading day of December, capping a fine year for the UK market in which it returned over 25%. The fund’s weak relative returns stemmed mainly from sector allocation, with the materially overweight exposure to technology weighing on performance.
