Reduction in Investment Management Fee
The Board of the Company announces that, following a review of the Company's operating costs, it has agreed revised terms with the Company's Alternative Investment Fund Manager, Towers Watson Investment Management Limited.
With effect from 1 April 2026, the Company's management fee will be reduced to 0.46% on the Company's entire market capitalisation.
With effect from 1 January 2027, the Company's management fee will be reduced further to 0.41% on the Company's entire market capitalisation.
This replaces the current tiered management fee of 0.52% per annum on such part of the Company's market capitalisation that is less than or equal to £2.5 billion; 0.49% per annum on such part of the Company's market capitalisation that exceeds £2.5 billion but is less than or equal to £5.0 billion; and 0.46% per annum on such part of the Company's market capitalisation that is in excess of £5.0 billion.
The reduction in investment management fee will result in an expected Ongoing Charges Ratio of approximately 0.57% for 2026 and 0.51% for 2027, all else being equal. This compares to an OCR of 0.59% as at 31 December 2025 (with the investment management fee waiver added back in).
The Board believes that the reduction in the investment management fee will enhance the Company's competitiveness and ensure that it remains attractively priced for investors seeking an actively managed, multi‑manager global equity strategy.
