PREMIER GROWTH PORTFOLIO

Quarterly update to 31st January 2010 > > click here

Suitable for: the more adventurous investor comfortable with a high-risk strategy with the potential for greater returns.

The Premier Growth Portfolio will invest in UK and overseas markets through both closed and openended investment companies and through structured products. As with the Premier Balanced Portfolio, it may provide exposure to a range of assets classes such as property or commodities, but there will be a greater focus on capital appreciation and less emphasis on
capital protection.

In order to build-in additional growth opportunities, portfolios may include a greater exposure to closed-ended funds and may include exposure to more volatile markets, as well as individual investments that would be regarded as higher risk. Nevertheless, we will seek to mitigate risk through diversification, using a range of asset and fund types.
