Fund overview
Targets high, consistent income and capital growth from global equities
The Global Equity Enhanced Income Fund seeks to deliver a high level of current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of global stocks together with an actively managed options overlay designed to generate additional income.

An innovative, dynamic approach that seeks to deliver high, consistent income and access to the growth potential of global equities

Key differentiators

  • Seeks to provide a targeted yield of 6% p.a.¹ paid monthly based on prevailing market conditions
  • Uses two sources of income (equities and options), which are dynamically managed to balance the trade-off between income and capital growth
  • Aims to capture the long-term growth potential of global equities through a high-conviction portfolio of 60 to 80 stocks
  • Targets balanced factor, region and sector exposures to help mitigate style swings whilst capturing growth opportunities

¹ A target is indicative only, is not guaranteed and does not take into account fees or charges that will reduce returns. The targeted yield is based on prevailing market conditions and subject to change. There is no guarantee that the targeted yield, or any other level of income or returns, will be generated.

The power of three

Sophie Scott, head of International Portfolio Specialists, breaks down the three strategic pillars behind the fund and how they work together to deliver a powerful equity income solution.

Transcript

Sophie Scott: Just as working individuals rely on a regular income, those investing in income-generating strategies deserve an income they can count on. By leveraging dividends from equities and premiums from selling options, our approach seeks to provide a 6% per annum distribution yield paid in equal monthly installments. While the capital value of the equity will vary by having a smooth and targeted yield, this will improve the reliability of the income we deliver to investors, giving investors one less thing to worry about.

Income investing and capital growth doesn't always go hand in hand. While income stocks can provide a reliable and steady income, their relatively stable capital growth can sometimes result in potentially muted total returns. While most equity income portfolios require a dividend from every stock, we're able to invest up to 10% of the portfolio in non-dividend-paying securities, allowing us the potential to identify attractive growth stock opportunities. Combining this with targeting a beta of one to the broad global equity markets, we believe it's possible for investors to achieve income and growth in one portfolio.

Certain sectors and regions can often pay a higher dividend—think utilities versus technology or the UK versus the US. Left unchecked and focusing solely on generating a high yield can potentially result in an unbalanced portfolio subject to style risk, concentration risk, and potentially missing out on growth stock opportunities. Now, our approach is intentionally designed to overcome these risks. We tightly manage our sector and region exposures and explicitly target a balanced factor profile. We believe actively balancing each of these dimensions in our approach enables us to deliver income and capital growth in a well-balanced portfolio.

Placement within the Morningstar Equity Style Box is based on two variables: relative median market capitalization and relative price valuations (price/book and price/earnings) of the fund’s portfolio holdings. These numbers are drawn from the fund’s portfolio holdings figures most recently entered into Morningstar’s database and the corresponding market conditions. The Ownership Zone is represented by a shaded area surrounding the centroid. This zone encompasses 75% of a portfolio’s holdings on an asset-weighted basis and is designed to be a visual measure of how wide-ranging the portfolio is.

The team believes company returns are predictable based on quantitative factors. They seek to systematically harvest these factors to generate alpha for their clients.

Key risks

Smaller-company securities risk: securities of companies with smaller market capitalisations tend to be more volatile and less liquid than securities of larger companies.

Geographic concentration risk: investments concentrated in specific geographic regions and markets may be subject to greater volatility due to economic downturns and other factors affecting the specific geographic regions.

Global investment risk: securities of certain jurisdictions may experience more rapid and extreme changes in value and may be affected by uncertainties such as international political developments, currency fluctuations and other developments in the laws and regulations of countries in which an investment may be made.

ESG risk: applying an ESG screen for security selection may result in lost opportunity in a security or industry, resulting in possible underperformance relative to peers. ESG screens are dependent on third-party data, and errors in the data may result in the incorrect inclusion or exclusion of a security.

Currency risk: currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time and can be affected unpredictably by intervention (or the failure to intervene) by relevant governments or central banks or by currency controls or political developments.

Emerging market risk: emerging markets may be more sensitive than more mature markets to a variety of economic factors and may be less liquid than markets in the developed world.

Equity securities risk: these securities fluctuate in value and price in response to factors impacting the issuer of the security as well as general market, economic and political conditions.

Leverage risk: the use of certain types of financial derivative instruments may create leverage which may increase share price volatility.

Investors should note that, relative to the expectations of the Autorité des Marchés Financiers, this fund presents disproportionate communication on the consideration of non-financial criteria in its investment policy.
 

The ongoing charges/total expense ratio (TER) reflects annual total operating expenses for the class, excludes transaction costs and is expressed as a percentage of net asset value. The figure shown is from current KID. The investment manager has committed to reimburse the Sub-Fund when the ongoing charges exceed the agreed upon TER. Ongoing charges may vary over time.
 

Any benchmark referenced is for comparative purposes only, unless specifically referenced otherwise in this material and/or in the prospectus, under the Sub-Funds’ Investment Objective and Policy.
 

†Promotes environmental and social characteristics but does not have a sustainable investment objective
 

†While the Sub-Funds listed above have access to both internal and external ESG research and integrate financially material sustainability risks into their investment decision-making processes, ESG-related factors are considered but not determinative, permitting the relevant Sub-Investment Managers to invest in issuers that do not embrace ESG; as such, sustainability risks may have a more material impact on the value of the Sub-Fund’s investments in the medium to long term. The investments underlying these Sub-Funds do not take into account the EU criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities.
 

The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or star rating, is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar risk-adjusted return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustment for sales loads. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% 3-year rating for 36–59 months of total returns, 60% 5-year rating/40% 3-year rating for 60–119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% 5-year rating/20% 3-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent 3-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods.
