Helping You Make the Right Decision
Value assesment document
The Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) has introduced new rules designed to ensure all asset managers are acting in their investors’ best interest and, as a result, delivering value. Whilst this is not, for us, anything new, the FCA has prescribed the factors to be assessed, and instructed that we produce this document to outline our approach and conclusions.
Other Regulatory Documents
The Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") is the UK's independent financial services regulator. It requires us, Fundsmith LLP, to give you this important information to assist you in your investment decision.
Stewardship, Proxy Voting and Responsible Investing
We engage with investee companies to satisfy ourselves that they are acting in the best interests of shareholders, with shareholder engagement integrated into our investment strategy and processes, from initial research, pre-investment due diligence through to ongoing monitoring. The Responsible Investment Policy sets out what we mean by responsible investment and how we integrate ESG (environmental, social and governance) factors into our investment process.
An English language prospectus for the Fundsmith Equity Fund is available on request and via the Fundsmith website and investors should consult this document before purchasing shares in the fund.
