Our Investment Process

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
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 Global Innovation Fund invests in high quality innovative companies with big growth opportunities ahead, strong barriers to competition and exceptional potential for 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
In assessing an innovative business as an investment, it is essential to judge it not by its novelty or technological sophistication but by the value it creates for its customers and its ability to capture an adequate share of this value for its shareholders.
Past performance does not predict future returns. You may get back less than you originally invested. Reference to specific securities is not intended as a recommendation to purchase or sell any investment.

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.

  • 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.

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.
