Continental European Fund

The aim of the Fund is to achieve long-term capital growth from a tightly controlled list of European stocks regardless of market capitalization, which the manager believes will generate attractive returns. The Fund aims to outperform the FTSE World Europe ex UK Index.

We are pleased to announce increased flexibility on pricing across the entire SVM Retail OEIC Fund range by enhancing initial commission up to 5.25%.

The offer will run from 1st October 2009 until further notice while we await the publication of the Retail Distribution Review. It allows intermediaries to rebate up to 5.25% of their commission to clients, so if an adviser is remunerated on a fee basis they can choose not to take any commission and give their clients access to SVM's funds with no initial charge.
