As at 15 May 2026 there will be various changes to the VT Downing Small & Mid-Cap Income Fund in relation to the fees and charges to the fund. For more information please see the Investor Circular.

The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve income, with the potential for capital growth over the long term (5+ years).

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% in equities listed on UK markets (including the London Stock Exchange, AIM and the ICAP Securities and Derivatives Exchange (ISDX)). The Investment Manager will be seeking to invest in shares of small and medium sized companies which are listed in the UK and which the Investment Manager considers to have the ability to increase returns over time. The Investment Manager characterises small and medium-sized listed companies as those companies outside the largest 100 UK listed companies by market capitalisation.

The Fund may also invest in other transferable securities (for example, without limitation, of non-small and medium sized companies and/or international equities) (including investment trusts), collective investment schemes, money market instruments, deposits, cash and near cash.

Derivatives may be used for the purposes of efficient portfolio management (although it is expected that use of derivatives will be limited).

The Fund is actively managed.

No more than 10% of the Scheme Property of the Fund will be invested in other collective investment schemes (although such collective investment schemes could include those managed and/or operated by the ACD or Investment Manager).

The Fund will not have any particular industry or economic sector focus and as such weightings in these may vary as required.
