Our UK equity capabilities

Why invest in UK equities?

The UK has endured headwinds for several years – largely for geo-political reasons but also more recently during the pandemic. These are now abating and have created opportunities for investors at attractive valuations.

How we invest

Put simply, we focus on the fundamentals of businesses, and seek to capitalise on market inefficiencies by buying stocks below their intrinsic value.

Footnotes

  • * The UK Enhanced Index Fund (UK) is not managed by the UK Team.

Investment risks

  • The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested.

     

    ICVCs

    The funds may use derivatives (complex instruments) in an attempt to reduce the overall risk of its investments, reduce the costs of investing and/or generate additional capital or income, although this may not be achieved. The use of such complex instruments may result in greater fluctuations of the value of the fund. The Manager, however, will ensure that the use of derivatives within the fund does not materially alter the overall risk profile of the fund. In the case of the Invesco Sustainable UK Companies Fund (UK), such derivatives may not be aligned with the Fund’s ESG screening criteria.

     

    The Invesco UK Opportunities Fund (UK) typically has a concentrated number of holdings, it may carry a higher degree of risk than a fund which invests in a broader range of holdings or takes smaller positions in a relatively large number of holdings.

     

    The Invesco UK Smaller Companies Equity Fund (UK), Invesco Income & Growth Fund (UK), Invesco UK Equity Income Fund (UK) and Invesco UK Equity High Income Fund (UK) invest in smaller companies which may result in a higher level of risk than a fund that invests in larger companies. Securities of smaller companies may be subject to abrupt price movements and may be less liquid, which may mean they are not easy to buy or sell.

     

    The Invesco UK Equity High Income Fund (UK) and Invesco UK Equity Income Fund (UK) may invest in private and unlisted equities which may involve additional risks such as lack of liquidity and concentrated ownership. These investments may result in greater fluctuations of the value of the fund. The Manager, however, will ensure that any investments in private and unlisted equities do not materially alter the overall risk profile of the fund.

     

    As one of the key objectives of the Invesco UK Equity High Income Fund (UK), Invesco UK Equity Income Fund (UK) and Invesco Income & Growth Fund (UK) funds is to provide income, the ongoing charge is taken from capital rather than income. This can erode capital and reduce the potential for capital growth.

     

    The use of ESG criteria may affect the investment performance and the Invesco Sustainable UK Companies Fund (UK). As such, it may perform differently to similar products that do not screen investment opportunities against ESG criteria.

     

    Investment trust

    The use of borrowings may increase the volatility of the NAV and may reduce returns when asset values fall.

     

    The products use derivatives for efficient portfolio management which may result in increased volatility in the NAV.

     

    The products invest in smaller companies which may result in a higher level of risk than a product that invests in larger companies. Securities of smaller companies may be subject to abrupt price movements and may be less liquid, which may mean they are not easy to buy or sell.

     

    Pension funds

     

    Investing in equity securities involves risks associated with the unpredictable drops in a stock’s value or periods of below-average performance in a given stock or in the stock market as a whole. Share prices on equity markets may fluctuate. Such fluctuations, or volatility, have historically been much greater for equity markets than the volatility of fixed income markets.

     

    The UK Equities Pension Fund and the Invesco UK Smaller Companies Equity Pension Fund invest in smaller companies which may result in a higher level of risk than a fund that invests in larger companies. Securities of smaller companies may be subject to abrupt price movements and may be less liquid, which may mean they are not easy to buy or sell.

     

    Please note the following when investing in the UK Smaller Companies Equity Pension Fund. Where a fund invests across a range of funds with a view to diversifying risk and potential returns, each of these underlying funds may have specific risks. Examples include: emerging market funds, smaller company funds and concentrated funds.
