Skandia GWS - Schroder Global Small Companies Fund - Managed Fund (Closed)

Fund Objective
To outperform the S&P Developed SmallCap World Index (ex Australia) over the medium to long term.
Fund Strategy
At the heart of the investment philosophy for the Fund is a belief that the identification of mispriced companies exhibiting superior characteristics of visible growth and sustainable returns is the key driver of excess returns. It also stems from the Schroders Group's belief that smaller companies remain generically under researched, and that they can gain an information advantage through rigorous research consistently applied within a philosophical framework.
