INVESCO Perpetual UK Growth Fund - Income Units
|
|
Investment aim: to achieve capital growth by investing in UK companies. In pursuing this objective the fund managers may include investment that they consider appropriate.
To achieve this, the fund manager aims to invest in funds with a significant bias towards UK mid and small-caps. This does not exclude seeking value and opportunity in UK large-caps when the opportunity arises. Income is paid out to investors although under CTF Regulations this will be added to the CTF account and re-invested according to the options specified for each account. The level of income is not guaranteed.

Funds holding non-sterling designated assets will be impacted by exchange rate fluctuations.
Where a Fund has holdings in fixed interest securities these are likely to be impacted by changes in interest rates and/or inflationary expectations.
Whilst equity investments carry potential for greater returns over the long term, the volatility on these returns can also be greater and the value of your capital is not guaranteed.
The fund may have some investment in bonds or shares issued by companies in so-called 'emerging markets'. This carries a higher risk than investing in larger, established markets. Investments in emerging markets are likely to experience greater rises and falls in value, and may have problems in trading and settlement.
When funds invest in bonds in overseas currencies, the value will go up and down in line with movements in exchange rates. In addition, the capital and income from a fund will rise and fall due to movements in interest rates.
Some of the fund will be invested in 'non-investment grade' bonds. The bonds may produce a higher level of income than 'investment grade' bonds but at a higher risk to your capital, as they are more likely to fail to repay their debt.

Close UK Escalator 100 Fund - Accumulation units
|
|
Investment aim: to provide investors with the potential to benefit from rises in the stock market whilst, at the same time protecting them on a quarterly basis from falls in the value of their capital.
It achieves its returns by investing in cash and 'futures and options' contracts. This allows for both 100% of the capital to be protected (so long it is left untouched for a specified period), and obtains an exposure to growth in the equity markets.
The protection aspect of the fund operates by protecting the capital value against loss by 'locking-in' gains at the end of each quarter; this protection only applies where your investment remains intact across 2 consecutive quarterly protection dates. The dates used are the third Fridays of March, June, September and December each year.
The fund is managed in such a way that the bid price at the end of each successive 3 month period is to be no lower than 100% of the bid price at the start of that period, thereby protecting investors' capital. Any gains made at the end of each quarter are locked-in and will be protected over each subsequent quarter.
Income is re-invested within the Fund to help your money grow faster still.

Part, or all, of the Manager's annual management charge may be charged to the capital, rather than the income of the fund, which could reduce the potential for capital growth.
