Liontrust Global Equities Team

Our Investment Process

The Global Equities team uses both fundamental research (what security to buy) and technical research (when and how to buy the security). 
The team’s process is focused on identifying both better and poorer performing companies. To do this, the team uses an initial screening process to reduce the target investment universe and then undertakes in-depth fundamental company analysis on the remaining names. 
As a core part of the investment process, the team examines the intrinsic value of a company (using discounted cash flow, or “DCF”, modelling or by examining companies relative to their peers). 
Once the target list is identified, the team uses technical analysis and risk overlays to construct and manage the portfolio to meet its objective and risk profile. 

The team differentiates itself by separating the two key investment decisions – screening and deep fundamental research – to determine which companies the team wants to gain exposure to (what to buy), and to define when and how to obtain exposure to those companies (when and how to buy) through technical research and risk management.

KEY RISKS

Past performance does not predict future returns. You may get back less than you originally invested.

We recommend this fund is held long term (minimum period of 5 years). We recommend that you hold this fund as part of a diversified portfolio of investments.

  • Overseas investments may carry a higher currency risk. They are valued by reference to their local currency which may move up or down when compared to the currency of the Fund.
  • The Fund, may in certain circumstances, invest in derivatives but it is not intended that their use will materially affect volatility. Derivatives are used to protect against currencies, credit and interest rate moves or for investment purposes. The use of derivatives may create leverage or gearing resulting in potentially greater volatility or fluctuations in the net asset value of the Fund. A relatively small movement in the value of a derivative's underlying investment may have a larger impact, positive or negative, on the value of a fund than if the underlying investment was held instead. 
  • Credit Counterparty Risk: outside of normal conditions, the Fund may hold higher levels of cash which may be deposited with several credit counterparties (e.g.international banks). A credit risk arises should one or more of these counterparties be unable to return the deposited cash.
  • Diversification Risk: the Fund is expected to invest in companies predominantly in a single country which maybe subject to greater political, social and economic risks which could result in greater volatility than investments in more broadly diversified funds.
  • Liquidity Risk: the Fund may encounter liquidity constraints from time to time. The spread between the price you buy and sell shares will reflect the less liquid nature of the underlying holdings.
  • ESG Risk: there may be limitations to the availability, completeness or accuracy of ESG information from third-party providers, or inconsistencies in the consideration of ESG factors across different third party data providers, given the evolving nature of ESG.

The issue of units/shares in Liontrust Funds may be subject to an initial charge, which will have an impact on the realisable value of the investment, particularly in the short term. Investments should always be considered as long term.
