Gartmore Global Focus Fund

The Global Focus Fund invests in equities (also known as shares) from across the world. It aims to generate out performance of the MSCI World Index through purchasing shares in companies with unexpected earnings. It aims to outperform in all market conditions.

By investing globally there are a greater selection of companies to purchase shares in, which gives greater diversification and in turn helps to mitigate some investment risk. It will also mean that not all shares are priced in Sterling therefore investment returns can also be impacted by movements in exchange rates.

The returns that you can expect from equities are volatile and therefore such a fund is most appropriate when you are not too close to retirement and are prepared to invest for the long-term.

The Plan currently offers you an actively managed fund by Gartmore. More information is available on the fund fact sheet.
