VT Downing Unique Opportunities A 

The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve capital growth and income over the long term (5 + years). The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% in equities listed on UK markets (including the London Stock Exchange, AIM and the ICAP Securities and Derivatives Exchange (ISDX)). The Investment Manager will be seeking to invest in equities which it considers to have a unique outlook and opportunity for growth. The Investment Manager will be looking for the Fund to invest in companies which have clearly identifiable characteristics to protect them against the entry of competitors (which are expected to enable such companies to produce an above average return on equity).
