Overview

Summary of Fund Objective

The Fund aims to increase in value through investment growth by more than the Numis Smaller Companies ex-Investment Trusts Index over periods of five years after all fees and costs are deducted. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve this return over this or any other time period. Capital invested is at risk and you may get back less than you paid in.

What Are The Key Risks?

The value of shares in the Fund and income received from it can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Performance may also be affected by currency fluctuations. Currency fluctuations may affect the value of overseas investments. There is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its objective.

  • The Fund invests mainly in equity securities of smaller UK companies that are no larger that the largest company in the Numis Smaller Companies ex-Investment Trusts Index. Such securities have historically been subject to price movements, sometimes to a greater extent than securities of larger UK companies, due to company-specific factors or movements in the UK equity markets generally. As a result, the performance of the Fund can fluctuate significantly over relatively short time periods.
  • Risks materially relevant not adequately captured by the indicator:
    Concentration risk: the risk that arises when a fund invests in relatively few holdings, few sectors or a restricted geographic area. Performance may be more volatile than a fund with a greater number of securities.
    Single Country/Region Risk: This fund invests primarily in UK, which means that it is more sensitive to local economic, market, political or regulatory events in UK, and will be more affected by these events than other funds that invest in a broader range of regions.
    Equity risk: prices of equities may be affected by factors such as economic, political, market, and issuer-specific changes. Such changes may adversely affect the value of the equities regardless of company-specific performance.
    Investment in smaller company shares: The fund buys shares in smaller companies. It may be difficult to sell these shares, in which case the fund may not be able to minimise a loss on such shares.
    Liquidity risk: the risk that arises when adverse market conditions affect the ability to sell assets when necessary. Such risk may be triggered by (but not limited to) unexpected events such as environmental disasters or pandemics. Reduced liquidity may have a negative impact on the price of the assets.

For a full discussion of all the risks applicable to this Fund, please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of the current prospectus of Franklin Templeton Funds.
