Business
Invesco Perpetual UK Smaller Companies Investment Trust plc operates as a closed-ended equity investment trust, established in March 1988 and domiciled in the United Kingdom. The trust's principal objective is to deliver long-term total returns for its shareholders, achieved through concentrated investments in a diverse range of small to medium-sized companies listed on the UK public equity markets. Historically, Invesco Fund Managers Limited managed the portfolio alongside Invesco Asset Management Limited. However, a significant change in investment arrangements occurred in late 2024 and early 2025. Artemis Fund Managers Limited was formally appointed as the new investment manager in March 2025. Concurrently, the company is transitioning to a new identity, with an application made to change its name to Artemis UK Future Leaders plc and its stock ticker set to become AFL. The trust's investment strategy emphasizes identifying high-quality smaller businesses exhibiting strong growth potential while trading at attractive valuations. It employs thorough fundamental analysis, considering factors such as market position, financial robustness, and competitive advantages to construct its portfolio. The management team typically adopts a balanced approach, blending defensive and cyclically exposed companies, and has selectively used gearing to potentially enhance returns. The trust aims to provide a consistent dividend yield, utilizing capital reserves when appropriate to supplement income payments. Its performance is benchmarked against the Numis Smaller Companies + AIM excluding Investment Companies Index (total return), a standard adopted in February 2022.
