The Artemis US Select Fund aims to deliver long-term capital growth by investing in a small portfolio of the 'best ideas' generated by Artemis' US equity team. The fund's objective is to grow capital over a five year period and invests 80% to 100% in company shares and up to 20% in bonds, cash and near cash, other transferable securities, other funds (up to 10%) managed by Artemis and third party funds and money market instruments. It invests principally in companies listed, quoted and/or traded in the United States of America and in companies which are headquartered or have a significant part of their activities in the USA which are quoted on a regulated market outside the USA. It is expected that the portfolio of the Fund will be invested in the shares of between 35 and 65 companies. The fund is actively managed using multiple sources of information, both to generate ideas and to assist in validating and testing candidate companies for investment. The fund may use derivatives for efficient portfolio management purposes to reduce risk and manage the fund efficiently.
