Aligned to our values

The Sustainable UK Smaller Companies Fund focuses on investing in shares within a portfolio of typically 30 to 50 listed or AIM-quoted UK smaller company shares to achieve capital growth over a period in excess of five years.

To embed proper consideration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, holdings are selected using our own B.E.S.T investment methodology and subject to our main Screening Policy. This as part of our investment selection process, to ensure that each investment meets our ESG criteria.

The approach of the Sustainable UK Smaller Companies Fund is firmly rooted in investing for a time horizon of at least five years. It is based on our own analysis of company fundamentals, where we aim to identify those UK Smaller Companies that can increase their profits - either by accessing a growing niche within a wider industry, having access to superior pricing from technological or market dynamics or by owning assets which we feel are fundamentally undervalued.

The investment process involves a thorough appraisal of a company’s management, a detailed financial review and an assessment of its market position and the competitive environment. For this UK Small Cap Fund we also look to invest in companies that can demonstrate a high level of employee engagement and where employees are encouraged to become shareholders.
