Global Large Cap

A focussed global equity strategy with a classic, contrarian value approach to building long-term value.
Fund Name: Overstone Global Equity Fund

Investment objective

The Fund will attempt to achieve over the long term a total return in excess of that of the MSCI World Index (with net dividends reinvested) through investment in a concentrated portfolio of equities of predominantly large companies, selected from all the major markets and to a lesser extent from some emerging markets, worldwide. The approach is classic contrarian value, based on bottom-up fundamental research of individual companies. The average market capitalisation of companies represented within the Fund is likely to be more than US$20 billion.

Performance is calculated net of all fees and expenses and on a total return basis, inclusive of all distributions to unit holders. MSCI World Value index is for comparison purposes only.

The value of all investments and the income from them can go down as well as up; this may be due, in part, to exchange rate fluctuations. Past performance is not a guide to future performance
