For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each 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 fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.

Data as of 30 Apr 2026
Global equities (MSCI World Net USD Index) rebounded sharply in April after gaining +9.6%, the strongest monthly performance in five years.
Equity prices surged to record highs supported by easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and a strong quarterly earnings result.
Most sectors posted positive returns, as technology (+17.6%), communications (+16.5%), and consumer discretionary (+9.8%) were the best performing sectors, driven by a rebound in growth stocks, whilst more defensive areas such as energy (-2.1%), health care (-0.2%), and consumer staples (+3.1%) were the worst performing sectors.
We maintain a constructive long-term outlook on global equities, supported by a strong fundamental backdrop, expectations for ~11% earnings growth rate over the next 12–24 months, and expansionary fiscal policies.
Near-term upside may be more constrained amid persistent macroeconomic uncertainty—particularly around global central bank policies and the risk that higher oil prices could pressure inflation and consumer demand—whilst equity valuations have moved back above long-term averages.
We continue to favour high-quality companies with durable cash flows and strong balance sheets, alongside a constructive bias towards leaders driving the AI buildout, whilst maintaining diversified sector exposure to help mitigate volatility.
The Fund is actively managed with reference to the MSCI World Value Net GBP Index (the "Index"). The Index is used (i) as a universe from which to select or hold securities; (ii) to measure performance of the Fund; and (iii) for the purposes of calculating relative Value at Risk (“VaR”). The investment manager has discretion over the composition of the portfolio of the Fund and may select securities not included in the Index. However, in normal market circumstances, whilst it is expected that a significant portion of the Fund’s constituents will also be Index constituents, deviations from the Index may be material. Whilst the investment manager does not employ a defined strategy to align with a benchmark during periods of volatility, it will take account of market environment and perceived risks at any given time and will employ its investment discretion as described in the investment policy accordingly.
