TOO BIG TO IGNORE
Investors looking to build a diversified portfolio should consider investing in the US.
The United States of America makes up over half of the global stock market. It’s the world’s biggest economy and home to some of the globe’s largest companies.
Put simply, it’s too big to ignore. Which is why we’ve launched the HL US Fund.
The US is home to the world’s two biggest Stock Exchanges – the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq.
How the HL US Fund works
HL’s experts have hand-picked a team of external fund managers who they believe offer the best potential for long-term performance. The external fund managers manage their own portions of the fund and we’ve given them clear boundaries on how to run them following their tried and tested strategies.
This fund aims to invest in US shares for long-term growth. And could be used by people who are comfortable building their own portfolios. It could fit well in a portfolio that would benefit from exposure to the US.
You can invest with a lump sum of £100 or £25 by Direct Debit.
HL Fund Manager Ziad Gergi discusses the HL US Fund.
With one investment you’ll get:
-
Diversification
The HL US Fund invests in a wide number of the largest companies from different areas in the world’s biggest economy. The fund also has the flexibility to invest in faster growing, smaller companies where it sees potential, this increases the risk of the fund. -
Great managers
We’ve considered over 2,000 unique strategies to pick a team of managers that complement each other. We’ve picked four fund managers that we think offer great investment potential. They’re experienced and have demonstrated strong processes to generate returns for investors, though of course nothing is guaranteed. -
A balanced approach
The HL US Fund brings together managers with different styles, looking for growth and value. Whatever the market outlook the fund aims to be in a position to benefit. -
The opportunity to beat the market
Unlike an index fund, the HL US Fund is actively managed so there’s potential to beat the market. The fund aims to outperform its benchmark, the MSCI USA index, over the long-term (at least 5 years), after charges. -
HL expertise
HL's own fund managers oversee this fund, making sure each manager stays on track and aligns with the fund's objectives. They'll hold fund managers to account and make sure they're following their strategy.
HL Fund Managers Ziad Gergi, Roger Clark and Thomas Wells.
Investing in funds isn't right for everyone, if you're unsure learn more about whether you should save or invest. You should only invest if the fund's objectives are aligned with your own, and there's a specific need for the type of investment being made. You should understand the specific risks of the fund before you invest, and make sure any new investment forms part of a diversified portfolio.
Investments will fall as well as rise in value so you could get back less than you invest. We recommend you hold this fund for a minimum of 5 years.
