Our Investment Process

The Liontrust Global Innovation team invests in innovative companies based on their strongly-held belief that innovation is the biggest driver of stock returns
The Liontrust GF Global Dividend Fund invests in innovative global leading companies: best-in-class companies, continually innovating to stay ahead, grow their dividends and deliver high long-term stock returns

The team looks for four characteristics in every company in which it invests: innovation that creates value for customers, barriers to competition that capture value for shareholders, good management and strong returns on invested capital

While the Fund aims to achieve high returns and outperform the market over the long-term it may underperform over the shorter term due to macroeconomic volatility

6 (Please refer to the Fund PRIIP KID for further detail on how this is calculated)
Active

The Fund uses the MSCI World Index (the “Benchmark”) for performance comparison purposes. The Fund is considered to be actively managed in reference to the Benchmark by virtue of the fact that the Benchmark is not used to define the portfolio composition of the Fund, and the Fund may be wholly invested in securities which are not constituents of the Benchmark. The Benchmark is also used for income target purposes, as stated in the objective.

The Benchmark is designed to capture the large and mid cap segments across 23 developed market countries.

How to invest in Liontrust funds

Through a fund platform
Through a financial adviser
Direct with Liontrust

Key Risks

Past performance does not predict future returns. You may get back less than you originally invested. 
We recommend this fund is held long term (minimum period of 5 years). We recommend that you hold this fund as part of a diversified portfolio of investments

The issue of units/shares in Liontrust Funds may be subject to an initial charge, which will have an impact on the realisable value of the investment, particularly in the short term. Investments should always be considered as long term.

The Fund invests in global equities. The Fund may also invest in other eligible asset classes as detailed within the prospectus. The Fund considers environmental, social and governance (""ESG"") characteristics of companies. The Fund is categorised 6 primarily for its exposure to Global equities. The SRRI may not fully take into account the following risks:

– that a company may fail thus reducing its value within the Fund;
– overseas investments may carry a higher currency risk. They are valued by reference to their local currency which may move up or down when compared to the currency of the Fund.

The Fund, may in certain circumstances, invest in derivatives but it is not intended that their use will materially affect volatility. Derivatives are used to protect against currencies, credit and interest rate moves or for investment purposes. The use of derivatives may create leverage or gearing resulting in potentially greater volatility or fluctuations in the net asset value of the Fund. A relatively small movement in the value of a derivative's underlying investment may have a larger impact, positive or negative, on the value of a fund than if the underlying investment was held instead. Credit Counterparty Risk: outside of normal conditions, the Fund may hold higher levels of cash which may be deposited with several credit counterparties (e.g.international banks). A credit risk arises should one or more of these counterparties be unable to return the deposited cash. Liquidity Risk: the Fund may encounter liquidity constraints from time to time. The spread between the price you buy and sell shares will reflect the less liquid nature of the underlying holdings. ESG Risk: there may be limitations to the availability, completeness or accuracy of ESG information from third-party providers, or inconsistencies in the consideration of ESG factors across different third party data providers, given the evolving nature of ESG. There may be times when those stocks that pay out higher levels of dividend underperform the market as a whole, or produce more volatile returns. The level of income is not guaranteed.
