PERFORMANCE

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES
0.65% of average market capitalisation, plus a performance fee amounting to 15% of any increase in the Trust's market capitalisation in any year, subject to an absolute return hurdle being the sum of the increase in the Retail Price Index in the year plus 6.0%. The total fee payable is capped at 1.25% of the average market capitalisation, in any one year. Any additional out or underperformance is carried over into subsequent years.
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES
-
Managers' incentivisation requires achievement of absolute, not relative returns
-
Fee calculated in reference to market capitalisation of company, not Gross Asset Value or Net Asset Value
-
Absolute return objective and charging of fee to share price both create a strong alignment of interest between Lindsell Train Limited and Finsbury Growth Trust shareholders
-
Highly concentrated portfolio, sectors and stocks
-
Valuation discipline
