Investment objective
The Fundsmith Sustainable Equity Fund, a sub fund of Fundsmith SICAV (“Fund”) is actively managed, which means that the investments are selected at the discretion of the Investment Manager. The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve long-term growth in value. The Fund will invest in equities on a global basis. The Fund’s approach is to be a long-term investor in its chosen stocks. It will not adopt short-term trading strategies. The Fund has stringent investment criteria which the Investment Manager adheres to in selecting securities for the Fund’s investment portfolio. These criteria aim to ensure that the Fund invests in:
- high quality businesses that can sustain a high return on operating capital employed;
- businesses whose advantages are difficult to replicate;
- businesses which do not require significant leverage to generate returns;
- businesses with a high degree of certainty of growth from reinvestment of their cash flows at high rates of return;
- businesses that are resilient to change, particularly technological innovation; and/or
- businesses whose valuation is considered by the Investment Manager to be attractive.
The Fund will not invest in businesses which have substantial interests in any of the following sectors:
|
|
In addition, the Investment Manager applies further criteria to screen investments in accordance with the Investment Manager's sustainable investment policy. The Investment Manager evaluates sustainability in the widest sense, taking account not only the companies handling of environmental, social and governance policies and practices but also their policies and practices on research and development, new product innovation, dividend policy and the adequacy of capital investment.
The Fund takes sustainability risk and ESG characteristics into account as part of its selection process. In that respect, the Fund promotes environmental and/or social characteristics and discloses sustainability-related information in accordance with the requirements of Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). More information can be found in the Prospectus and in the Sustainability Related Disclosure on the website.
Principal Risks
- The value of companies invested in, and therefore the value of the Fund, will rise and fall, and there is no guarantee that you will get your investment back. An investment in the Fund should only be made by those persons who are able to sustain a loss on their investment. The Shares should be viewed as long term investments (at least 5 years).
- The Fund's portfolio is a global portfolio and many of the investments will not be denominated in the currency in which you invest. There is no currency hedging made by the Fund. The value to you of the shares may therefore rise or fall purely on account of exchange rate movements.
- The Fund's portfolio complies with the UCITS requirements on spread of investment. Having said that, application of the investment criteria described above significantly limits the number of potential investments: the Fund generally invests in 20 to 30 stocks and so it is more concentrated than many other funds. This means that the performance or underperformance of a single stock has a greater effect on the price of the Fund.
- If you are unsure about the suitability of the Fund for you, please seek professional advice.
- Past performance is not a guide to future performance.

* The OCF (Ongoing Charges Figure) is the total expenses paid by the Fund (excluding bank overdraft interest), annualised, against its average net asset value. The OCF will fluctuate as the average net assets and costs change. The OCF is updated following the publication of accounts for the periods ending 30th June and 31st December. The fees and charges paid by the Fund will reduce the return on your investment. Certain costs paid by the Fund will be charged in Euros and exchange rate fluctuations may cause these costs to increase or decrease when converted into your local currency.
# The PTR (Portfolio Turnover Rate) is a measure of the Fund's trading activity, and has been calculated by taking the total share purchases and sales less total creations and liquidations divided by the average net asset value of the Fund.
> 7 Day Fund Liquidity is calculated based upon 30% of trailing 20 day average volume.
< Gross Yield reflects the historic dividend income received by the Fund in the preceding 12 months before the deduction of all expenses including management fees. Net yield is Gross Yield less the deduction of all expenses including management fees i.e. Gross Yield less the OCF. In both cases we use T Class Shares as reference. Please note that rates would vary for I Class and R Class shares. Additional Fund expenses will further reduce the yield received.
