Global Equities Fund (Unhedged)

The objective of the fund is to outperform the benchmark over the long term. The Fund will be constructed with limited reference to the benchmark, and therefore the fund's returns may vary significantly from the Benchmark's return.

Investment Strategy

The Fund will invest in global equities where we identify compelling Risk Adjusted Value Latency.

We apply the CI Way and VoF investment process across a focused watchlist of companies identified through both qualitative and quantitative research, along with an extensive company visitation programme. Diversification of risks is achieved through owning businesses across different Subsets of Value, industries, regions and sizes.

The Fund may differ significantly from the benchmark, may invest in stocks of any size, and will generally be fully invested in 30-50 holdings.

The manager will not hedge currency risk on foreign assets.
