CT American Smaller Companies Fund (US) Retail Accumulation EUR

Strategie

The Fund is actively managed, and invests at least 75% of its assets in shares of American smaller companies. The Fund considers American smaller companies to be those domiciled in the United States of America (US), or with significant US business operations, and which have a market size ranging from typically $500 million to $10 billion at the time of investment. The Index is regarded as an appropriate performance measure of shares in which the Fund invests and provides a suitable target benchmark against which Fund performance will be evaluated over time. The Investment Manager selects smaller companies considered to have good prospects for share price growth, from across different industries and economic sectors. The Investment Manager typically invests in fewer than 80 companies, which may include shares of some companies not within the Index. The Investment Manager also seeks to create a portfolio that compares favourably against the Index over rolling 12-month periods, when assessed using the Columbia Threadneedle ESG Materiality Rating model. This model (developed and owned by Columbia Threadneedle Investments) analyses company data to assess how effectively material environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities are being managed.

Ziel

The Fund aims to achieve investment growth over the long term (5 years, or more). It also looks to outperform the Russell 2500 Index ("the Index") over rolling 3-year periods, after the deduction of charges.
