Bell global SMID Cap Equity IPC USD

The Fund seeks to grow capital and generate income primarily by investing in worldwide equities or equivalent. The Fund is actively managed, investing mainly medium and small capitalisation. The minimum market capitalization at the time of acquisition will be USD 1 billion or equivalent in another currency. This Fund seeks to focus on securities issued by Quality companies that are attractive in terms of their fundamental attributes and potential capital gains over 3 to 5 years and will privilege companies from the Communication Services, Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Healthcare, Industrials, Information Technology and Materials. The Investment Manager defines Quality companies as companies with an optimal mix of six key factors: high quality management, consistent profitability, strong franchises, financial strength, favourable business drivers and strong Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) characteristics. The Fund is allowed to invest without limits in currencies other than its base currency (USD). The Investment Manager does not intend to hedge currency exposure in this Fund. The Fund is managed so that the ESG quality score, as measured by MSCI ESG Research, will remain superior to that of the MSCI World SMID Cap Index (the "Benchmark”). The Fund also promotes a carbon footprint at least 25% lower than the Benchmark. The ESG analysis covers at least 90% of the Fund’s portfolio. A performance fee in reference to the Benchmark is applied to some share classes. The Benchmark is representative of the investment universe and not representative of the risk profile of the Fund. The performance of the Fund is likely to be significantly different from that of the Benchmark because the Investment Manager has significant discretion to deviate from its securities and weighting. The Benchmark is not aligned with the environmental and/or social characteristics promoted by the Fund. The Fund’s base currency is USD. As an equity fund, its holdings can move in line with or return less than the broad stock market, so investors should be aware that the value of their holdings could fall and that they may not get back their initial investment. Any income received by the Fund is reinvested (capitalisation share class). Investors in the Fund can subscribe and redeem units on any business day in Luxembourg. Details of the closing days are available here: https://www.ubp.com/en/ouroffices/ ubp-asset-management-europe-sa. The recommended holding period is minimum 5 years.
