Asian Equity Funds
Fund Opportunity
Central to the CRUX Asia ex-Japan fund is an investment philosophy which focuses on active investing for the long-term, on a 3-5years+ basis. This longer than average time frame allows the investment team to analyse consumer trends, identify behavioural biases and exploit market inefficiencies, often overlooked by the market who typically forecast earnings over a 2-year period. The fund manager seeks companies that will double their revenue earnings over a 3–5-year period and is unconstrained by the benchmark in terms of stock, country and sector exposure.

Fund Opportunity
The TM Lansdowne European Special Situations Fund seeks to identify and invest in:
- Companies that have high barriers to entry and strong pricing power, enabling them to generate robust earnings with growth potential;
- Businesses that are not highly capital intensive where the return on capital employed exceeds the cost of capital;
- Companies with strong free cash flow and higher dividend yields than usual;
- Businesses that have relatively conservative valuations against their peer group and the market, because if valuations are high, it is considerably harder to exceed expectation; and
- Businesses where management has its own money invested.
Notice to Investors
As of the 31st of October 2023, the CRUX (Lux) European Special Situations Fund has been closed.

UK Equity Funds
Fund Opportunity
The TM CRUX UK Core Fund seeks to preserve and enhance the real value of capital. It does so by investing in businesses that we believe will become more valuable over time. These are businesses with decent economics, sustainable business models and, most importantly competent honest management teams. Ultimately we aim to be a consistent, reliable fund for investors seeking exposure to the UK stock market.
Fund Opportunity
The TM CRUX UK Special Situations Fund favours shares which it considers to be undervalued due to the specific situation of the relevant company, its group and/or any member of its group. It may be that the relevant company is subject to recovery action, management change, strong potential growth, is undervalued or is refinancing or it may hold assets which the Investment Manager considers to be undervalued. The Investment Manager is not restricted in its selection of investments for the Fund by any geographic or industry specialisation.
Fund Opportunity
The investment objective of the TM CRUX UK Smaller Companies Fund is to achieve long-term growth, over a rolling 5-year period, net of all fees and expenses, through both capital appreciation and income generation.

Fund Opportunity
