The Fund invests in an actively managed portfolio of 25-50 global high quality growth companies which can deliver positive change in one of four areas: social inclusion and education, environment and resource needs, healthcare and quality of life; and base of the pyramid (addressing the needs of the world’s poorest populations). A Portfolio Construction Group generate ideas from a diverse range of sources. With a focus on fundamental in-house research, the group complete a two stage analysis of all holdings, looking at both the financial and positive change aspects case for each stock using a consistent framework. The output is a high conviction and differentiated portfolio. We aim for a low turnover, around 20% per annum over the long run.
