Why invest?
This fund focuses on managers who have shown excellent stock-picking skill, regardless of what areas they specialise in. Our analysis identifies managers with the potential to deliver better returns for investors over the long term. Investors could use this fund to form the equity part of a diversified investment portfolio.
Many of the managers we think are the best stock-pickers focus on smaller and mid-sized companies, which makes the fund a medium to high-risk option. Your money will be invested in shares, and as with most investments, you should plan to hold this fund for at least five years. If you're unsure whether investing is right for you, find out whether you should save or invest.
You’ll get:
- A globally diversified portfolio, invested with some of the world's most skilful fund managers.
- Some investments in higher-risk small and medium-sized companies.
- Some investments in higher-risk emerging markets.
This fund has a holding in Hargreaves Lansdown plc through the underlying funds. This is outside of HL’s control.
