The investment objective of Liontrust European Absolute Return Fund is to achieve a positive absolute return for investors through a portfolio of investments primarily in equities and equity-related securities (including derivatives for investment purposes) of European companies. It is expected that a positive absolute return is capable of being generated under all market conditions. The Fund will not be benchmarked against any European equity index. Although the Fund may invest in all economic sectors in all parts of the world, it is intended that it will currently invest primarily in equities and equity-related securities (including derivatives) in companies incorporated in any European Economic Area (“EEA”) Member State, together with Switzerland, which are listed on a recognised stock exchange of an EEA Member State or Switzerland. The Fund will not be restricted in choice of investment by either size or sector. The Fund may invest in transferable securities, money market instruments, warrants, cash and near cash and deposits. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its property in units or shares in collective investment schemes. The Fund is permitted to use derivatives for the purposes of efficient portfolio management and for investment purposes.
The Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF) shows the drag on performance caused by operational expenses associated with a fund. Expenses which are represented by this figure include payments to the manager, the trustee the custodian and their representatives. The figure also includes registration, regulatory, audit and legal fees, and the costs of distribution. Performance fees, transaction costs, interest on borrowing, costs associated with derivatives, entry and exit fees and soft commissions are not included in the OCF calculation, and should be factored in separately by the investor. The OCF is calculated by taking the sum of these expenses incurred in the last 12 months and dividing this by the average net assets of that class for the last 12 months.
Total Expense Ratio (TER) is a formula designed to show the ongoing costs to the investor associated with a fund, including some charges which are not factored into the annual management fee. In addition the fund’s annual fee, charges such as trading fees, audit and legal fees, and operational expenses are included in the TER, which is worked out by dividing the total cost of the fund by its total assets to arrive at a percentage. Unlike the Ongoing Charges Figure, the TER takes into account performance fees. It does not include transaction costs paid to the custodian.
All prices in Pence Sterling (GBX) unless otherwise specified. Price total return performance figures are calculated on a bid price to bid price basis (mid to mid for OEICs) with net income (dividends) reinvested. Performance figures are shown in Sterling unless otherwise specified.
