Schroder Global Smaller Companies - Managed Fund (Closed)

Fund Objective

To outperform the S&P Developed SmallCap World Index (ex Australia) over the medium to long term.

Fund Strategy

At the heart of the investment philosophy for the Fund is a belief that the identification of mispriced companies exhibiting superior characteristics of visible growth and sustainable returns is the key driver of excess returns. It also stems from the Schroders Group's belief that smaller companies remain generically under researched, and that they can gain an information advantage through rigorous research consistently applied within a philosophical framework.
