Objective and Fund Details

Who should invest in this fund?

Investors seeking capital growth over the long-term who are comfortable with greater volatility associated with equity investments.

What does this fund invest in?

The Fund aims to generate capital appreciation over the long-term, principally through investment in shares of companies in the Caribbean and global markets.

The interest, dividend income and capital gains that are realised on the Fund’s investments are automatically reinvested in more securities within the Fund to enhance your returns and increase the rate of growth in the value of the shares.

Fund Strategy

The Fund uses a value approach to invest consistently in a portfolio of high quality, reasonably priced shares in the Caribbean and around the world. In some cases, greater efficiency may lead the Fund to make investments via other funds or with third-party managers, rather than in individual securities. The Fund may invest in securities in any market globally. In general, the Fund’s portfolio is focused on investments with some combination of the following characteristics, depending on market conditions:

  • Attractive levels of profitability, earnings growth and/or quality;
  • Attractive price relative to other companies with similar operations;
  • Balance sheet and leverage appropriate to the company’s operations.

What happens when you invest in this fund?

The Fund has weekly dealing. At the end of each week a valuation of the market value of the Fund’s investments, and a net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated and published on our website. Investors may purchase shares of the Fund (invest) at any time for that week’s NAV. Similarly, if you are selling shares (redeeming), you would do so at that week’s NAV and you would receive payment the following week.

The Fund provides quarterly and annual reports to investors, detailing Fund performance and positioning of the investment portfolio. Statements reflecting the number of shares you hold, the net asset value per share and current market value, are made available to shareholders quarterly.
