This investment product provides exposure to a systematically managed portfolio of large and mid-capitalisation companies in the United States. Its primary objective is to outperform the broader US equity market by employing an 'enhanced factor' strategy. The methodology involves a quantitative, rules-based approach to select and weight stocks from a wide universe of US-listed companies. This is achieved by targeting multiple, historically proven drivers of return, aiming to deliver a more robust performance profile across different market environments compared to traditional market-cap weighted index funds.
The core of the strategy is its multi-factor framework, which combines several distinct investment styles: Value, Momentum, Quality, and Low Volatility. The Value factor seeks to identify stocks that appear underpriced relative to their fundamental worth. The Momentum factor focuses on companies that have demonstrated strong recent price performance. The Quality factor prioritises businesses with stable earnings, strong balance sheets, and high profitability. Finally, the Low Volatility factor aims to reduce portfolio fluctuations by including stocks with historically lower price swings. By diversifying across these uncorrelated factors, the portfolio seeks to generate alpha and achieve superior risk-adjusted returns.
This fund is suitable for investors seeking a core allocation to the US equity market but who wish to move beyond simple passive exposure. It offers a sophisticated, yet transparent, alternative to traditional active management, blending systematic portfolio construction with the potential for outperformance. As a capitalising, or accumulating, fund, all dividends paid by the underlying companies are automatically reinvested back into the portfolio. This process harnesses the power of compounding, making it an efficient choice for long-term investors primarily focused on capital appreciation rather than generating a regular income stream.
