Important Information
Headline performance can mask the true characteristics of a fund. Without fully understanding how a fund is managed, you may inadvertently become exposed to an undesirable level of risk to your capital. Some funds carry a dilution levy which reduces the number of units realised on any initial investment as an initial charge. If this fund carries such a levy it should be detailed in the Key Investor Information Document (KIID), which we must provide and you should read before investing.
The charts and performance data shown are supplied by an external data provider and may contain data that appears to precede the introduction of the clean unit class for this fund. In such cases, historical data has been synthesised at the entire discretion of that external provider as realistically as possible using historical data recorded against the previously available commission-paying version of the fund, adjusting for fees in the process.

Management Team
Michael Barnard
has managed this fund for 18 years and 1 month.
Michael Barnard was born in Forres, Scotland in 1950. Following graduation in 1971 from Aberdeen University with an MA Degree in economics, Michael entered the stockbroking profession. In 1988, Michael set up his own company, M D Barnard & Co Ltd, a stockbroking and investment management business. His management of the Marlborough UK Equity Growth Fund began in 1995 and he used his vast knowledge to give the fund its consistent high performance and this consistency looks set to stay as Michael expands his team as the fund's popularity and size grow.
Michael tends to be a stock picker rather than looking to invest in a particular sector or size of company. His approach is very much on long term capital appreciation with an aversion to risk. Consequently the high growth of the fund has been achieved through a below average level of volatility.
