Neptune | Invest in Depth

With a strong national brand and commercial heritage the UK offers a wealth of trusted, world class companies that are continuing to invest in order to grow their businesses. Innovation is a key trend, and in the latest video fund managers Alex Breese and Mark Martin discuss how UK companies are uniquely placed to capitalise on global opportunities through their adaptability and experience.

In the Neptune UK Special Situations Fund, Alex Breese seeks out stocks that are misunderstood by the market and consequently have share prices significantly below their potential.

In the Neptune UK Mid Cap Fund, Mark Martin focuses on small and medium sized companies that he believes are best placed to benefit from the global themes we have identified in our in-house research.

These Funds may have a high historic volatility rating and past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of an investment and any income from it can fall as well as rise as a result of market and currency fluctuations and you may not get back the original amount invested. References to specific securities are for illustration purposes only and should not be taken as a recommendation to buy or sell these securities. A Special Situations fund typically seeks to invest in companies and industries which are believed to be misunderstood by the market and consequently are significantly undervalued. A Mid Cap fund seeks to invest in small to medium sized companies which may involve a higher degree of risk than larger companies. These funds may invest more than 35% in government and public securities in a number of jurisdictions. These and other risks are described in the Prospectus/Key Investor Information Document which should be read carefully prior to investing and can be obtained by calling 0800 578 5051 or downloaded from www.neptunefunds.com.

Manufacturing has been one of the strongest parts of the US economy since the downturn began, and for the first time since the 1980s employment in the sector is growing faster than total US employment growth. This is just one example of an area that is showing signs of improvement in the US.

As home to the largest stockmarket in the world, the US provides access to a variety of global investment themes as identified by our investment team. However, it is less well known as a market for dividend investors. In fact, US companies are currently in robust shape and are returning an increasing amount of cash to shareholders.

Watch the video to find out why we think the US offers a wealth of investment opportunity.

Scotch whisky is just one example of a British industry that is experiencing a surge in overseas demand for UK heritage brands. A number of well-known UK companies, beyond just luxury goods producers, are tapping into the growth in appetite in China and other emerging markets for the best of British brands.

At Neptune we have positioned our Neptune Income Fund to benefit from this trend, as the London stockmarket offers a wealth of truly international companies. To gain exposure to global growth themes like emerging market consumption, the Fund focuses on strong, well-managed companies that pay out cash to investors as dividends. Fund Manager Robin Geffen constructs a portfolio of typically thirty-three equally weighted stocks, all of which must contribute to the Fund’s income.

Watch the video to learn more about the Fund and hear where we are currently looking to find the best investment opportunities.

Whilst in many developed countries the middle classes are finding that their disposable incomes are under pressure from rising taxes and the cost of living, in China we are seeing a very different picture emerging. It’s not simply that the average Chinese person has more money to spend than before; it’s how they are spending that money which is creating some very exciting opportunities for businesses in China and investors alike.

At Neptune, we believe that domestic companies are perfectly placed to take advantage of this rise in consumer spending and not only translate it into capital growth, but in many cases grow dividends too. These cash rich businesses that blend long-term growth and income are exactly the type of companies we look to hold in our Greater China Income Fund. Click on the video to hear more.

New ideas continue to flourish, despite the prospects for some of the world’s largest economies seeming gloomy. These ideas are translating into exciting investment opportunities, particularly in the emerging markets.

At Neptune our fund managers are always looking to invest in companies that give access to new ideas and emerging trends. We believe our approach to finding these companies, with the potential to drive investment returns over the long term, is what sets us apart. Our in-house research starts by analysing the macro picture across different global industries, to identify new themes and opportunities. We then apply thorough analysis to individual companies wherever they happen to be based in the world, so long as they operate in the industries or sub-sectors we favour. We’re continually looking to tap into those businesses that we believe are going to benefit from opportunities we’ve identified.

To find out how this approach is helping us find new investment opportunities, click on the video above.
