LF Gresham House UK Smaller Companies Fund

Strategic Equity

Strategic Equity

A high-conviction, concentrated fund with a dedicated focus on smaller UK companies and fundamentals-based stock picking, aiming to deliver risk-adjusted returns with low correlation to its peer group.

The fund targets capital growth over the long term (in excess of five years) as well as consistent annual returns from a quality and fundamentals-focused investment strategy.

Our experienced team identify niche growth businesses with strong long-term financial performance, established management teams and a sound market position to deliver future growth potential.

Reasons to invest

We believe there is significant opportunity in the segment of the market between £250mn and £1bn market cap at point of investment, because:

  • A lack of research provides opportunities for stock-pickers
  • New ideas are continuously unearthed within an investment universe that is changing constantly
  • It potentially offers discounted valuations due to companies being less well-known and with a perception of high risk

Our approach

  • Highly selective investment process that utilises a ā€˜bottom-up’ fundamentals driven approach
  • Focus on established profitable growth businesses avoiding loss makers and early stage business model risk
  • Focused on quality niche companies that are potentially well positioned to grow despite economic uncertainty

Our process

A structured and disciplined process designed to insulate us from macro and external factors that might affect companies’ performance.

There is significant opportunity in the segment of the market between £250m and £1bn at point of investment, which our process seeks to unlock:

  • Idea generation – tapping into a variety of sources through our network of relationships
  • Investment universe – we screen by size, sector, financial strength and valuation
  • Target list – ideas reviewed regularly to identify management teams to contact
  • Investment appraisal – providing insight to this process through a smaller-company focus and private-equity techniques
  • Conviction score – rating conviction and using it to determine relative weightings

Portfolio in focus: Medica
