Performance & Holdings
This Trust is a high-conviction portfolio, investing in the UK’s most differentiated and exciting emerging companies, with quality management teams, and dominant market positions. We also seek out companies leading industry change, the “disruptors”. Our aim is long-term capital growth.
The Company aims to provide shareholders with long term capital growth and an attractive total return by investing primarily in UK smaller companies and mid-capitalisation companies traded on the the London Stock Exchange.
Capital at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

What are the risks?
- Capital at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested.
- Net Asset Value (NAV) performance is not the same as share price performance, and shareholders may realise returns that are lower or higher than NAV performance.
- The Trust’s investments may have low liquidity which often causes the value of these investments to be less predictable. In extreme cases, the Trust’s may not be able to realise the investment at the latest market price or at a price considered fair.
- Investment strategies, such as borrowing, used by the Trust can result in even larger losses suffered when the value of the underlying investments fall.
- The insolvency of any institutions providing services such as safekeeping of assets or acting as counterparty to derivatives or other instruments, may expose the Fund to financial loss.
- Derivatives may be used substantially for complex investment strategies. These include the creation of short positions where the Investment Manager artificially sells an investment it does not physically own.
- Derivatives can also be used to generate exposure to investments greater than the net asset value of the fund / investment trust. Investment Managers refer to this practice as obtaining market leverage or gearing. As a result, a small positive or negative movement in stockmarkets will have a larger impact on the value of these derivatives than owning the physical investments. The use of derivatives in this manner may have the effect of increasing the overall risk profile of the Funds.
