This actively managed fund offers exposure to large-capitalisation companies in the United States that demonstrate strong growth potential combined with high-quality characteristics. Unlike passive funds that track a specific index, this strategy leverages the expertise of portfolio managers to select securities they believe are poised for long-term capital appreciation. The investment process is rooted in a fundamental, research-driven approach, aiming to construct a portfolio of companies that can consistently grow their earnings and profits over time, representing what the manager believes to be the best opportunities within the US large-cap space.
The portfolio construction is centred on a dual-factor methodology. The 'growth' aspect targets companies exhibiting superior earnings growth, strong sales momentum, and promising future prospects. This is complemented by a stringent 'quality' screen, which prioritizes businesses with robust balance sheets, high profitability metrics like return on equity and return on assets, and stable, predictable earnings streams. This blend is designed to capture the upside potential of growth-oriented stocks while simultaneously mitigating risk by ensuring the underlying companies are financially sound and resilient. The strategy deliberately avoids speculative or unprofitable companies in favour of established firms with sustainable competitive advantages.
For investors, this product can serve as a core US equity holding, providing a targeted approach that goes beyond broad market exposure. It is designed for those with a long-term investment horizon who believe that high-quality, growing companies are the primary drivers of stock market returns over time. The strategy's focus on financially healthy firms may offer a degree of defensiveness during periods of market stress compared to portfolios focused solely on high-growth stocks without a quality filter.
