Amity International

Amity International Fund

Managed by Robin Hepworth, the Amity International Fund seeks to invest in a portfolio of companies which make a positive contribution to society and the environment through sustainable and socially responsible practices. The Fund seeks to avoid investment in certain areas such as companies which have a material involvement in alcohol, tobacco and weapon production, gambling and publication of violent or explicit materials.

Investment objective

The fund aims to achieve long term capital appreciation and a reasonable level of income by investing principally in International companies.

The Amity International Fund recently won the prestigious Lipper award 2011 for the best fund over 5 years out of 149 funds. (Global Equity category.)

Please note that past performance should not be seen as an indication of future performance, and that the value of investments can fall as well as rise.
