WSP commentary

Draft commentary, machine-generated from the fund's prospectus dated 01.03.2026; key investor information document; key information document (PRIIPs), not yet reviewed by WSP.

Investment rationale

The fund is designed as a long-term equity investment seeking capital growth by investing in shares of American companies. Its PRIIPs summary risk indicator is 3 out of 7, described as medium-low risk, and the recommended holding period is 5 years. The target investors are those prepared to stay invested for at least 5 years and to accept a medium-low level of risk of loss to original capital in pursuit of higher potential return. Its concentrated US equity approach and integration of a separate ESG framework make it a distinct regional equity allocation rather than a broad multi-asset holding.

Investment strategy

The fund’s objective is to achieve capital growth over the long term by investing in shares of American companies. It invests principally in a concentrated selection of shares in American companies, defined as companies with their primary listing in the United States of America. The manager intends to remain substantially invested in this strategy, while holding some liquid assets in cash, cash equivalent investments, and government and investment grade corporate bonds for subscriptions, redemptions, expenses and settlement management. The fund does not track a particular benchmark, does not take short positions, does not use leverage for investing, and does not hedge markets; currency hedging may be used only for share classes described as hedged against the USD reference currency. Income treatment depends on share class, with both accumulation and distribution classes available.

Investment philosophy

• The portfolio is built from a concentrated selection of shares in American companies, defined as companies with their primary listing in the United States of America.

• The Investment Manager selects companies using its own fundamental research, taking a long-term horizon and always seeking quality and value.

• Quality is defined as companies that are industry leaders, have strong competitive positions and pricing power in structurally attractive and growing markets, have management teams with strong records of value creation and have robust balance sheets.

• Every company is analysed through both traditional financial analysis and a separate but integrated ESG Framework covering the SASB dimensions of Environment, Social Capital, Human Capital, Business Model & Innovation, Leadership & Governance, plus a sixth corporate governance dimension and qualitative assessment against the UN Sustainable Development Goals and other global norms.

• Portfolio implementation is constrained by a policy to remain substantially invested in the equity strategy, with only limited liquid asset holdings in cash, cash equivalents and government and investment grade corporate bonds for operational purposes; the fund will not take short positions, will not use leverage for investing and will not hedge markets.

The asset manager

The management company is Waystone Management Company (Lux) S.A., a Luxembourg management company authorised and supervised by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier. The investment manager is J. Stern & Co. LLP, a limited liability partnership incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, with company number OC378306 and registered office at 4 Carlton Gardens, London SW1Y 5AA, United Kingdom. J. Stern & Co. LLP is authorised and regulated by the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority under FCA reference number 588344. The distributor is J. Stern & Co. Limited, incorporated in Malta with registered office at 171 Old Bakery Street, Valletta, VLT 1455, Malta.

Strengths

The fund is distinguished by its concentrated US equity strategy focused on leading American companies with enduring competitive advantages and a long runway of growth. Its stock selection combines proprietary fundamental research with a separate ESG Framework that covers six dimensions, including a dedicated corporate governance analysis and qualitative alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and other global sustainability norms. The Investment Manager also presents stewardship as a core element of the process, with direct engagement with company managements forming part of the ESG Framework. The fund’s structure is straightforward: no benchmark tracking, no shorting, no investment leverage and no market hedging.

Risks

The PRIIPs summary risk indicator is 3 out of 7, classified as medium-low risk. The fund is exposed primarily to equity market risk because it invests principally in a concentrated selection of US-listed shares, so market movements in those holdings can affect capital value. It also has currency risk because investors may receive payments in a different currency from the fund’s reference currency, and some share classes use currency hedging while others are unhedged. Additional risks identified include operational risk, and the prospectus also highlights concentration risk for this fund, noting that holding a relatively small number of stocks may make performance more volatile than a more diversified portfolio; where the fund holds depository receipts, there is also a risk that events affecting the underlying security may not be fully passed through.
