A sub-fund of the EF Brompton Multi-Manager OEIC.
The EF Brompton Global Balanced Fund aims to achieve moderate growth. We believe investors want a real return not a relative return from their investments over the longer term. Brompton seeks to deliver this through a process of active asset allocation and focused fund selection.

The Fund will typically invest a minimum of 80% of its net asset value in collective investment schemes, exchange traded funds, unregulated collective investment schemes, and may also include transferable securities (including investment trusts and similar instruments), money-market instruments, fixed income instruments, deposits and foreign exchange contracts.
It is expected that exposure to equity markets will typically range from a minimum of 20% to a maximum of 60% of the total Fund, with the aim of achieving the Fund’s objective. However, investments will not be confined by industrial, economic or geographical sector.
The Fund may also hold, on a temporary basis, all or part of its assets in cash or other ancillary liquid assets.
The Fund may utilise derivatives for the purposes of efficient portfolio management (typically hedging, including investing in hedged share classes, which attempts to mitigate against falls in the value of the Fund’s assets and the effects of changes in currency exchange rates against the Fund’s base currency, which is pounds sterling).
The Fund’s benchmark is IA Mixed Investment 20-60% Shares. This represents a comparator benchmark because the Fund’s performance can be compared to funds which also sit within this industry sector.
Full details of the fund and its risks are in the prospectus or Key Investor Information and Supplementary Information Document located in the investment documents section.
