Dear UK-Analyst.com member,

Adrian Lowcock of London-based Bestinvest recently stated that ‘although large caps will tend to do best in volatile markets, there are opportunities for small-cap funds to compete, providing you pick the right manager. If you want to invest in small caps, you need a good fund manager and you need also to diversify.’

Small cap stocks offer a higher growth dynamic; and we believe there are many profitable undervalued companies, with little or no debt, which have fantastic growth prospects in this area.

Well managed funds are the ones that take time to invest and do their homework. At t1ps Investment Management, we don't try to forecast where the market is going. We look at individual companies that are well managed and have good balance sheets. We buy into stocks that trade at a big discount to their underlying value. What makes us different is that our fund is managed from a long-term value creation perspective.

We believe that it's a great time to buy into the fund. We believe that are still great opportunities in the small cap universe and it is just a case of picking the right ones. Please remember that share prices can go down as well as up.

Don't forget that the value and income from investments can go down as well as up and you will not be able to deal in your investments during the transfer.

Please also bear in mind that your existing ISA provider may also charge you for making a transfer.

Investment Objective and Strategy

The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve long term capital growth in excess of the Hoare Govett Smaller Companies Index from making value based investments in UK smaller companies with a market capitalisation no greater than £500 million at the time of investment.

It is the Fund’s policy to invest predominantly in securities of UK smaller companies admitted to or dealt in on any of the markets of the London Stock Exchange, including the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) and the Domestic Market.

The Fund aims to achieve the investment objective and policy primarily through specific stock selection. In so doing, the Fund will seek to identify UK smaller companies with improving financial performance, solid balance sheets and which either are or will shortly be cash generative, but which the Fund considers to be undervalued by the market.

We are experts in identifying undervalued smaller companies and we believe that the small cap universe offers great opportunities. We focus on excellence and we focus on value.

Tom Winnifrith - Fund Manager

Risk Warning: The value of investments can go down as well as up. Investing in equities can lose you part or all of your capital. Smaller company shares can be relatively illiquid and thus hard to trade. And that makes such investments more of a high risk than larger company shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future success. t1ps.com Ltd is authorised and regulated by the FSA and can be contacted at 3rd Floor, 5-11 Worship Street, London EC2A 2BH.
