Key features
Liontrust GF SF Pan-European Growth Fund
Investment Objective & Policy1:
The Fund aims to achieve capital growth over the long term (five years or more) through investment in sustainable securities,
mainly consisting of European equities.
The Fund is biased towards companies that provide or produce more sustainable products and services as well as having
a more progressive approach to the management of environmental, social and governance issues.
The Fund will seek to achieve its objective through exposure mainly to equities of companies incorporated in any European
Economic Area Member State, the UK and Switzerland, although it can invest globally. In normal conditions the Fund invests
at least 75% of its Net Asset Value in European equities.
In addition, the Fund may invest in debt securities for liquidity and cash management purposes. Any investment in bonds
will be in corporate and government fixed or floating rate instruments which may be rated or unrated up to 25% of the net
assets of the Fund. The Fund may also invest in exchange traded funds and other open-ended collective investment schemes.
The Fund is not expected to have any exposure to derivatives (contracts whose value is linked to the expected future price
movements of an underlying asset) in normal circumstances but may on occasion use them for investment, efficient portfolio
management and for hedging purposes. The use of derivatives should not lead to a significant change in the risk profile
of the Fund.
Recommended Investment Horizon:
5 years or more
SRRI2:
6
Active / Passive Investment Style:
Active
Benchmark:
The Fund is considered to be actively managed in reference to the MSCI Europe Index (the "Benchmark") by virtue of the fact
that it uses the benchmark(s) for performance comparison purposes. The benchmark(s) are not used to define the portfolio
composition of the Fund and the Fund may be wholly invested in securities which are not constituents of the benchmark.
Sustainability Profile
The Fund is a financial product subject to Article 9 of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).
Liontrust GF SF Global Growth Fund
Investment Objective & Policy1:
The Fund aims to achieve capital growth over the long term (five years or more) through investment in sustainable securities,
predominantly consisting of global equities.
Typically at least 90% of the Fund will be invested in the shares of global companies, with up to 10% in bonds and cash.
The Fund will only invest in companies that meet defined ethical considerations and will benefit from improvements in
environmental standards and a shift towards a more sustainable economic system.
While the Fund will invest predominantly in companies from developed markets it may also invest up to 20% in emerging
market securities.
In normal conditions, the Fund will aim to hold a diversified portfolio, although at times the Investment Adviser may decide
to hold a more concentrated portfolio, and it is possible that a substantial portion of the Fund could be invested in cash or
cash equivalents.
The Fund is not expected to have any exposure to derivatives (contracts whose value is linked to the expected future price
movements of an underlying asset) in normal circumstances but may on occasion use them for investment, efficient portfolio
management and for hedging purposes including gaining exposure to financial indices.

the Fund or as a performance target and the Fund may be wholly invested in securities which are not constituents of the
Benchmark.
