Investment Approach

01

We believe the companies which can generate a superior return on capital will outperform through commodity cycles..

02

We believe the best investment performance in this sector comes from directionally accurate medium-term commodity price forecasts combined with in-depth fundamental stock analysis.

03

We believe corporate and stock price performance in this sector are directly affected by ESG factors, including the structural shift to a low-carbon economy.

General risks. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results, losses may be made.

Specific risks. Geographic / Sector: Investments may be primarily concentrated in specific countries, geographical regions and/or industry sectors. This may mean that, in certain market conditions, the value of the portfolio may decrease whilst more broadly-invested portfolios might grow. Currency exchange: Changes in the relative values of different currencies may adversely affect the value of investments and any related income. Derivatives: The use of derivatives is not intended to increase the overall level of risk. However, the use of derivatives may still lead to large changes in value and includes the potential for large financial loss. A counterparty to a derivative transaction may fail to meet its obligations which may also lead to a financial loss. Equity investment: The value of equities (e.g. shares) and equity-related investments may vary according to company profits and future prospects as well as more general market factors. In the event of a company default (e.g. insolvency), the owners of their equity rank last in terms of any financial payment from that company. Commodity-related investment: Commodity prices can be extremely volatile and losses may be made. Emerging market (inc. China): These markets carry a higher risk of financial loss than more developed markets as they may have less developed legal, political, economic or other systems.
