Rated Fund 2015-2018. Takes a patient, value-investing approach

Ian Kelly took over sole responsibility for running this fund in mid 2016, having been a co-manager since 2013. The fund yields 2.9 per cent and pays income half-yearly.He is a member of the company's value investment team, which adopts a contrarian approach. This means he seeks to outperform the market over time by buying stocks for less than their worth. At the same time, he looks for positive and sustainable income trends, aiming to invest in stocks that not only pay a high income at the time of purchase, but also have solid prospects for increasing dividends.In order to find suitable stocks, Kelly combines analysis of global growth trends, interest rate cycles and currencies with analysis at a company level, looking at key metrics such as capital discipline, operational efficiency and stability of earnings.Through this research, he aims to find good opportunities globally to invest in robust, well-managed, cash-generative businesses with sustainable earnings power. As he is buying stocks that are trading at a significant discount to their intrinsic value, this means adopting a long-term investment horizon, waiting for them to come back into favour and for market sentiment to improve, leading to a higher share price.At the end of 2017, the fund had 47 holdings and was less than a third invested in the US, down from nearly 50 per cent a year earlier. The next highest exposures were to Europe and the UK, followed by emerging markets. Overweight sectors included financials, consumer discretionary and energy.<\p>

Risk statistics
Alpha
?Alpha is a measure of a fund's over- or under-performance by comparison to its benchmark. If the Alpha is 5, the fund has outperformed its benchmark by 5%; so the greater the Alpha, the greater the outperformance.
2.91
Beta
?Beta estimates a fund's volatility by comparison to that of its benchmark. A fund with a beta close to 1 means that the fund will move generally in line with the benchmark. Higher than 1 and the fund is more volatile than the benchmark and vice versa.
1.07
Sharpe
?This commonly-used measure calculates the level of return over and above the return of a notional risk-free investment, such as cash. The difference in returns is then divided by the fund's volatility. The resulting ratio is an indication of the amount of excess return generated per unit of risk.
0.59
Volatility
?Volatility (or standard deviation), when applied to an investment fund, expresses its risk. It shows how widely a range of returns varied from the fund's average return over a particular period. For example, if a fund had an average return of 5%, and its volatility was 15, this would mean that the range of its returns over the period had swung between +20% and -10%.
11.29
Tracking error
?This measures the standard deviation of a fund's excess returns over the returns of an index or benchmark portfolio. As such, it can be an indication of 'riskiness' in the manager's investment style. A Tracking Error below 2 suggests a passive approach. At 3 and above the the manager will be deploying a more active investment style.
4.45
Information ratio
?This is a useful risk-adjusted measure of actively managed fund performance. It is calculated by deducting the returns of the fund's benchmark from the fund's overall returns, then dividing the result by its tracking error. The higher the Information Ratio the better. It is generally considered that a figure of 0.5 reflects a good performance, 0.75 very good, and 1.00 outstanding.
0.73
R-Squared
?An indication of how closely correlated a fund is to an index or a benchmark. Values for R-Squared range between 0 and 1, with 0 indicating no correlation at all and 1 showing a perfect match. Values upwards of 0.7 suggest that the fund's behaviour is increasingly linked to its benchmark.
