The UK equity team, previously part of Martin Currie, has now formally aligned under ClearBridge Investments, as of the 30 September 2025.

This new structure will optimise the combined strengths of the UK equity team and ClearBridge Investments. The team will maintain their investment autonomy and will have access to broader resources to benefit clients.

Why invest in the fund?

A core offering, the portfolio gives investors a different take on the UK corporate landscape. Focused on the FTSE 250 ex-IT, companies in this index have typically enjoyed superior earnings growth vs the broader index, increased M&A and are likely to benefit from any economic rebound.

Distinct profile

The FTSE 250 offers a much more diverse investment universe than the FTSE 100

Opportunity after sell-off

The FTSE 250 has historically outperformed the broader index after drawdowns AND after interest rates have peaked

M&A

The FTSE 250 offers a balance of both domestic and international exposure in an index where M&A activity has started to increase

Our investment approach

We take a common-sense approach to investing. We build a concentrated yet balanced portfolio of what we consider to be the highest quality companies in the FTSE 250 index.

Balance: we seek a strategic balance of undervalued, cyclical and growth names

Conviction: we build a concentrated portfolio of 30 to 50 high-conviction, long-term holdings that typically make up between 1.5% and 5.0% of the fund

Differentiation: our FTSE 250 ex-IT focus allows investors to tap into the distinct opportunities offered vs the blue chip indices
