Stock market exposure through the most talented fund managers in the UK
Important - The value of this fund and the income from it can still fall, so you could get back less than you invested, especially over the short term. If you are unsure of the suitability of any investment for your circumstances please contact us for advice. Tax rules can change and benefits depend on individual circumstances.
An investment in the UK stock market is a logical starting point for most UK investors, but the choice of funds is overwhelming. This is why we have consolidated our favourites into a single, balanced investment.Ellen Powley and Roger Clark, Fund Managers
Why invest?
The UK stock market is home to many world-class companies. But there’s a huge variety of funds to choose from. This fund lets you leave the fund manager selection to us and add diversified UK exposure to a growth portfolio.
The fund invests with managers we think can add value by selecting great stocks, and we ensure the fund has exposure to a variety of investment styles, sectors and companies of differing sizes. This means the fund is positioned to perform well in a variety of market conditions and to deliver capital growth over the long term.
The majority of your money will be invested in shares. This makes the fund a medium to high-risk option. And as with most investments, you should plan to hold it for at least five years. If you're unsure whether investing is right for you, find out whether you should save or invest.
You’ll get a balanced mix of:
- Shares in larger UK companies with long-term growth potential.
- Some smaller UK companies offering higher-growth potential, but with increased risk.
- Overseas investments (up to 20% of the fund).
This fund has a holding in Hargreaves Lansdown plc through the underlying funds. This is outside of HL’s control.
