We believe that equities are the best long-term asset class, and the US remains the deepest, best performing major market.
Our objective is to invest in a range of thematic stocks, often small-cap companies that Wall Street tends to ignore. We favour US small-cap value which has been proven to be the best long-term asset class in the world (Fama, French). This makes our portfolio of around 185 stocks a good complement to existing US equity exposure.
The daily NAV for the VT De Lisle America Fund can be found here. The sterling and dollar classes are synonymous as no currency hedging is used*. For instance, if the exchange rate reverted to levels of August 2010 when the UCITS III started, at $1.56, the prices of the two classes would be the same.
*For sterling investors who wish to mitigate the uncertainty of currency swings we also have a hedged class.
Investors can also apply directly to the Fund through Valu-Trac: ACD/Administrator
