WS Charteris Premium Income Fund

The fund seeks to provide income and capital growth from a portfolio invested in liquid UK quoted equities. At its core, the fund’s strategy starts with the analysis of global macro-economic trends and themes. Individual stocks are then selected based on how they may benefit from those global trends. The fund has a target dividend yield of 4-6 per cent. From time-to-time, and if required. the manager can use covered call options for short periods to help boost the fund’s overall dividend income.
