T M Lansdowne European Special Situations I Acc

The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve capital growth, net of fees, over 5 year rolling periods by investing in equities of European (excluding the UK) companies in special situations (which may also provide an element of income).
The Fund aims to achieve the investment objective by investing 80% or more in European listed equities ((ordinary or preference shares) of which up to 5% may be in UK companies (defined as companies incorporated or domiciled in the UK) and which are in special situations (as defined in the investment strategy below)). The Fund may also invest in debt securities convertible into ordinary stocks and shares, cash, near cash, money-market instruments and deposits. The exposure to European listed equities may fall below 80% under difficult market conditions in which the Investment Manager believes that markets are expensive or when higher volatility is anticipated. This could include (but is not limited to) markets resulting from, or anticipating, extreme events (for example, the 2008 global financial crisis). The Fund’s portfolio will be managed on a concentrated basis, meaning the Fund will hold typically between 20-40 holdings. The Fund will be able to invest without restriction by market cap or sector.The Fund may also invest up to 20% outside of Europe if the Investment Manager believes that it should be beneficial for the Fund.The use of derivatives is permitted by the Fund for efficient portfolio management purposes (including hedging), and borrowing will be permitted under the terms of the Regulations. It is not intended that the use of derivatives in this way will change the risk profile of the Fund. The Fund’s use of derivatives is expected to be limited.Investors’ attention is drawn to the detailed risk warnings in this prospectus.The Fund will be managed in a manner that maintains eligibility for ISAs.The Fund’s investment portfolio is actively managed. This means that the Investment Manager actively makes decisions about how to invest the scheme property of the Fund instead of simply following a market index.
