Overview
The Worldwide UK Equity Alpha Fund adopts a long-term, low turnover investment approach and aims to hold higher quality, growth companies which are principally listed in the UK and are capable of growing their profits and cashflows faster than the market average. We are able to invest in large, medium and small capitalisation companies, constructing a concentrated portfolio of our best ideas, typically in the range of 30-40 holdings, which is highly differentiated from the benchmark, the FTSE All-Share Index.
