    Overview

    Fund objective and policy

    The Fund aims to achieve investment growth over the long term (5 years, or more). It also looks to outperform the S&P 500 Index (the “Index”) over rolling 3-year periods, after the deduction of charges.

    The Fund is actively managed, and invests at least 75% in a concentrated portfolio of shares of companies domiciled in the United States of America (US), or which have significant US business operations. There is no restriction on size, but investment tends to focus on larger companies.

    The Index represents around 500 of the largest companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ and provides a suitable target benchmark against which Fund performance will be evaluated over time.

    The Investment Manager selects companies in which it has a high conviction that the current share price does not reflect the prospects for that business, and typically invests in fewer than 60 companies, including some companies not within the Index.

    The Investment Manager also seeks to create a portfolio that compares favourably against the Index over rolling 12-month periods, when assessed using the Columbia Threadneedle ESG Materiality Rating model.

    This model (developed and owned by Columbia Threadneedle Investments) analyses company data to assess how effectively material environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities are being managed. If sufficient data is available, the combined results are expressed as a numerical rating to indicate how much exposure a company has to material ESG risks and opportunities in a particular industry.

    Whilst the Fund may still invest in companies that have poor ESG Materiality ratings, at least 50% of the portfolio is invested in companies with strong ratings.

    The Investment Manager engages with companies with a view to influencing management teams to address material ESG risks and improve their ESG practices.

    Columbia Threadneedle Investments is a signatory to the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative and has committed to an ambition to reach net zero emissions by 2050 or sooner for a range of assets, including the Fund. As such, the Investment Manager will proactively engage with companies to assist with progressing this and may disinvest from those not meeting the minimum standards.

    The Fund only invests in companies that follow good governance practices. It does not invest in companies which derive revenue from industries or activities above the thresholds shown: tobacco production (5%); nuclear weapons – indirect involvement (5%), conventional weapons – military, or civilian firearms (10%), and thermal coal – extraction or power generation (30%), providing a company is not engaged in new coal projects.

    The Fund excludes companies that have direct involvement in nuclear or controversial weapons, and companies determined to have breached international standards and principles.

    The Fund may invest in other securities, collective investment schemes (including funds managed by Columbia Threadneedle companies), money market instruments, deposits, and cash. Derivatives may only be held with the aim of reducing risk or managing the Fund more efficiently.

    Environmental, Social and Governance Introduction

    At Columbia Threadneedle Investments we incorporate financially material ESG factors in our research and decision-making with the objective of delivering stronger, long term risk-adjusted returns. Different funds may put more emphasis on ESG factors and some may have specific ESG objectives. The classifications, disclosures and policies below are provided to inform your investment decisions.

    Performance

    Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Markets could develop very differently in the future. It can help you to assess how the fund has been managed in the past. The return of your investment may change as a result of currency fluctuations if your investment is made in a currency other than that used in the past performance calculation.

    Significant Events

    Fund Changes

    For detailed information on Fund Changes please see "Significant events - Threadneedle UK Regulated Funds" PDF available on www.columbiathreadneedle.com/en/changes/

    Key Risks

    • The value of investments can fall as well as rise and investors might not get back the sum originally invested.
    • Where investments are in assets that are denominated in multiple currencies, or currencies other than your own, changes in exchange rates may affect the value of the investments.
    • The Fund has a concentrated portfolio (holds a limited number of investments and/or has a restricted investment universe) and if one or more of these investments declines or is otherwise affected, it may have a pronounced effect on the Fund’s value.
    • The Fund may invest in derivatives (complex instruments linked to the rise and fall of the value of other assets) with the aim of reducing risk or minimising the cost of transactions. Such derivative transactions may benefit or negatively affect the performance of the Fund. The Manager does not intend that such use of derivatives will affect the overall risk profile of the Fund.
    • The Fund applies a range of measures as part of its consideration of ESG factors, including the exclusion of investments involved in certain industries and/or activities. This reduces the investable universe, and may impact the performance of the Fund positively or negatively relative to a benchmark or other funds without such restrictions.
    • The fund typically carries a risk of high volatility due to its portfolio composition or the portfolio management techniques used. This means that the fund’s value is likely to fall and rise more frequently and this could be more pronounced than with other funds.
    • The risks currently identified as applying to the Fund are set out in the "Risk Factors" section of the prospectus.

    UCITS SRRI Risk Score

    The Risk and Reward Indicator table demonstrates where the Fund ranks in terms of its potential risk and reward. The higher the rank the greater the potential reward but the greater the risk of losing money. It is based on past data, may change over time and may not be a reliable indication of the future risk profile of the Fund. The shaded area in the table below shows the Fund’s ranking on the Risk and Reward Indicator. The lowest category does not mean a risk-free investment.

    Investment Process

    The fund provides exposure to companies in North America, or with significant operations there.

    The fund will typically hold 30 to 60 positions. The fund focuses on our highest conviction ideas, and the portfolio manager can take significant stock and sector positions in companies of all sizes. The portfolio manager has the flexibility to select stocks from across the North American market. This enables the fund to focus on the best individual stock opportunities. We believe that a clear understanding of the macroeconomic and thematic background is a vital starting point for managing the fund.

    We believe that investment decisions are supported by engaging with company management at face-to-face meetings, which enable us to gain an understanding of the performance drivers of each company. The team places great importance on fundamental research and industry analysis and believes that this approach will tend to identify companies that are more likely to outperform over the long term.

    We are in contact with more than 700 companies per annum to ensure that we gain a thorough understanding of the performance drivers of the business and to help build our conviction in the prospects for the firm. We search for companies with a sound underlying business and financial model which are able to add value for their customers, and where management has the expertise to oversee long-term growth.

    The Share Class currency, unless indicated as a Hedged Share Class, is a translated price using exchange rates at the official valuation point of the fund. This is intended as a way to access a Share Class in your chosen currency and does not reduce your overall exposure to foreign currency. The fund currency indicates the highest currency exposure of the fund unless the currency breakdown is detailed in the Weightings % table.

    The peer group (also known as a comparator benchmark) for this fund has been identified to facilitate a comparison between funds with broadly similar characteristics.
