Investment Objective

We seek to achieve long-term returns by investing in UK-listed equities using a valuebased philosophy inspired by the teachings of Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, Benjamin Graham and Phillip Fisher. Our approach, combined with thorough research, invests in high quality businesses run by honest and competent management purchased at prices that, even with low expectations, will deliver excellent returns.

Target Market

Aurora UK Alpha is a long-term investment vehicle, appropriate for those making investments with at least a three-year time horizon. It is aimed at investors looking for a manager with a business and value orientated approach, achieved through investments in predominantly UK companies demonstrating a high return on capital and control over their profitability through the strength of their business franchise. Aurora's portfolio is typically concentrated in a small number of deeply researched stocks, which can result in above average volatility. An investment in Aurora may be best suited to investors with at least an underlying knowledge of equity investments. The Trust is measured against a benchmark but does not follow the benchmark in its portfolio construction. It is intended for investors looking for capital appreciation rather than income, and while it does distribute a dividend, this is not the strategic aim of its investment approach.
