LIONTRUST GF SPEC SITS A1 ACC €

The investment objective of the Fund is to provide long-term capital growth. The Investment Adviser believes the best way to achieve this growth is by investing in equities of companies in a special situation. These companies are in a special situation because they have certain special characteristics that are difficult to replicate, distinct from their competitors and that enables them to sustain a higher level of profitability for longer than expected which often surprises the market and typically leads to strong share price appreciation. Examples of the characteristics that identify a company in a special situation are: (i) protected intellectual property rights, (ii) strong distribution networks or (iii) significant recurring income, which is defined as at least 70% of the company's annual turnover.
