WS Gresham House UK Multi Cap Income Fund

Strategic Equity

Strategic Equity

Focused on small and mid-cap companies and fundamentals-based stock-picking, targeting the potential for attractive returns with low correlation to its peer group.

Our disciplined process leverages the fundamentals-driven attributes of private equity, and our highly-resourced team has access to specialist expertise via an extensive network derived from their private-equity heritage.

We have a genuine smaller company focus and believe this sets us apart from our competitors and helps to generate low correlation.

We also  avoid benchmarking behaviours and cyclical risk wherever possible, adhering strictly to our investment process.

Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. Capital at risk.

Our approach

We focus on:

  • Management – favouring high-quality, entrepreneurial teams
  • Strategy – understanding how management are seeking to enhance strategic value
  • Market opportunity – getting under the skin of  the company’s addressable market and the dynamics likely to influence it
  • Market position – assessing the company’s competitive advantages
  • Financials – considering the profit and cash flow growth potential over the anticipated life of the investment, as well as quality of earnings and balance sheet strength

We interrogate potential stocks using proprietary research to evaluate the investment case and then assign a conviction score to each, based on the above fundamental components. This helps determine optimal weightings within the fund.

Key risks

  • The value of the Fund and the income from it is not guaranteed and may fall as well as rise. As your capital is at risk you may get back less than you originally invested
  • Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance
  • Funds investing in smaller companies may carry a higher degree of risk than funds investing in larger companies. The shares of smaller companies may be less liquid than securities in larger companies
