Barings German Growth Trust

Barings has launched an Irish-domiciled mirror fund - the Barings German Growth Fund. The fund maintains the same portfolio management team, objective, benchmark, fee schedule and other key features as the existing U.K. domiciled fund. The only differentiating feature is that this fund is domiciled in Ireland and subsequently able to preserve its UCITS status regardless of the outcome of Brexit.

Objective

The Trust aims to provide a total return, including both capital growth and dividend income (after fees have been deducted), in excess of the HDAX® (Total Return) Index over a rolling five year period by investing in equity and equity related securities in Germany.

Strategy

The Trust will seek to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 75% of its total assets directly and indirectly in equities and equity related securities of companies incorporated in, or exercising the predominant part of their economic activity in Germany, or quoted or traded on the stock exchanges in Germany.

Who Should Invest

The Trust is designed for investors seeking a strategy that targets long-term capital growth by investing in Germany.

Risks

The value of investments can fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Country specific funds have a narrower focus than those which invest broadly across markets and are therefore considered to be more risky. Changes in exchange rates between the currency of the Trust and the currencies in which the assets of the Trust are valued may also affect the value of the Trust.
