Investment philosophy

CHUK is an actively managed and focused portfolio of high quality equities, typically 30-40 holdings. At least  80% of the Fund is invested in UK companies but the  Fund will hold some international equities where the UK market lacks exposure (e.g. Technology and Pharmaceuticals). Also, around 10% of the portfolio  may be invested in smaller/AIM-listed companies.

‘Quality’ is the overriding stock selection theme and is defined as companies having:

◆    High barriers to entry
◆    Strong future recurring revenue
◆    High return on capital employed/free cash flow
◆    Proven management and corporate culture
◆    Strong corporate governance
