Investment Objective The Fund aims to achieve returns (capital and income) in excess of the returns of the Investment Association (IA) Europe ex UK Sector over the long term (5 years).
Investment Policy The Fund will seek to achieve its objective by investing in a concentrated portfolio of approximately 30-60 stocks. The Fund will invest at least 80% in companies incorporated in countries in Europe. The Fund may also invest in companies that are headquartered or quoted outside Europe which derive a significant part of their business from Europe and whose securities are listed or traded on an eligible securities exchange.
The Fund will not concentrate on any particular sector but will invest in a broad range of companies without regard to market capitalisation.
The Fund may also invest in other equities, fixed interest, units in collective investment schemes, money market instruments and deposits.
The Fund may also make use of certain financial contracts known as derivatives and forward transactions for the purpose of efficient portfolio management, including the use of hedging techniques and stock lending. It is not intended that the use of derivatives for efficient portfolio management purposes will increase the risk profile of the Fund.
A target for the Fund's performance has been set by reference to the IA Europe ex UK Sector (the "Target Benchmark") over a five year period.
Please note; On 26th September 2024, Extraordinary General Meetings were held for the investors of (each of) VT Argonaut Equity Income Fund and VT Argonaut European Alpha Fund (together, the Sub Funds).
These meetings were held to determine the outcome of a shareholder vote on the proposal (sent to investors on 5th September 2024) for the funds to terminate and the assets to transfer over (by way of Schemes of Arrangement)
to launch the VT Argonaut Flexible Fund on the effective date; 11th October 2024.
A quorum of shareholders from both Sub Funds voted in favour 'For' the resolutions by way of overwhelming majority. The Sub Funds therefore remain open for investment until midday, 9th October 2024.
Investors remaining in the Sub Funds after this time will be transferred to the VT Argonaut Flexible Fund on 11th October 2024 and will be available for investment from Monday, 14th October 2024 during normal business hours.
