Ashburton Global Leaders Equity Fund

Focused investing through global market leaders

Why invest in this Fund?

A concentrated portfolio of the world’s most prominent companies, household names and industry leaders designed to provide you with peace of mind.

When interest rates from bank accounts and bonds are so low, having prominent international equities can significantly improve your risk-adjusted returns over the long-term.

These are mega-cap businesses, each worth over US$200 billion, with a global presence and constituents of the major indices such as the FTSE, Dow Jones or Nikkei.
