J O Hambro Capital Management UK Equity Income Fund

This Sub-fund aims to achieve two primary goals: first, to deliver an income stream that consistently increases year over year, and second, to grow the capital invested over a rolling timeframe of seven to ten years. A key performance objective is to outperform the FTSE All-Share Total Return index (12pm adjusted), a benchmark that also dictates performance fee calculations. Its portfolio predominantly consists of UK-listed equities, with at least 90% allocated to companies traded on the London Stock Exchange or other UK bourses. These investments encompass a broad spectrum of market capitalisations, including large, mid-sized, and smaller enterprises. While the fund may allocate up to 25% to smaller firms – widely recognised as potentially higher risk – this strategic inclusion, in the view of the fund managers, provides broader opportunities for dividend income and serves to differentiate the Sub-fund within its peer group.
