Our approach to investment and the power of process
- We believe investment processes are key to long-term performance and effective risk control. Our fund managers are truly active in applying their investment processes.
- There is no house view - our fund managers have the freedom to manage their portfolios according to their own investment processes and market views without being distracted by other day-to-day aspects of running a fund management company.
- Staying true to their documented investment processes helps to create an in-built risk control for our fund managers, especially in more challenging environments, by preventing them from investing in companies and funds for the wrong reasons.
- Documenting an investment process means you, as an investor in our funds and portfolios, know exactly how each team manages your money.
- The fund managers invest in funds they run, which shows a belief in and a commitment to their investment processes and fellow investors.
- Liontrust ensures that appropriate and prudent levels of risk are taken to meet the investment objectives and policies of all our funds.
- In general, risk within a fund is controlled and monitored in two ways: the investment process and predetermined risk controls.
Consumer Duty
The FCA introduced the Consumer Duty in July 2023 to improve levels of protection for retail customers. The Consumer Duty sets the standard of care that firms should give to customers in retail financial markets.
Liontrust’s decision to make the enhancement of client experience and outcomes its first strategic objective reflects the strong commitment to meeting the FCA’s evolving Consumer Duty requirements. Consumer Duty is embedded within Liontrust’s culture and everyday activities, and it is also reflected in staff performance objectives.
