CT European Sm.Comp.F.RNI EUR

Strategie

The Fund is actively managed, and invests at least 75% of its assets in shares of smaller Continental European companies. The Fund selects smaller companies considered to have good prospects for share price growth, from any industry or economic sector, and in some instances, this may provide exposure to niche growth areas that often cannot be accessed through large companies. The EMIX Smaller European Companies Ex UK Index is regarded as providing an appropriate representation of the share performance of smaller sized companies across Europe (excluding the UK), currently with over 1,000 companies included. It provides a suitable target benchmark against which Fund performance will be measured and evaluated over time. The Fund typically invests in fewer than 100 companies, which may include shares of some companies not within the EMIX Smaller European Companies Ex UK Index. The Fund may also invest in other assets such as cash and deposits, and hold other funds (including funds managed by Columbia Threadneedle companies) when deemed appropriate. The Fund is not permitted to invest in derivatives for investment purposes, but derivatives may be used with the aim of reducing risk or managing the Fund more efficiently. Derivatives are sophisticated investment instruments linked to the rise and fall of the price of other assets.

Ziel

The Fund aims to increase the value of your investment over the long term. It looks to outperform the EMIX Smaller European Companies Ex UK Index over rolling 3-year periods, after the deduction of charges.
