Additional information on how this fund can help meet your clients’ needs
- Access to an evolving portfolio of long-term winners
New Perspective offers long-term growth investors a way to stay ahead of transformational changes. We do that by investing in companies that can endure, evolve and benefit from shifts in the global economy. - An attractive combination of resilience and growth
By investing in a range of multinationals, from established global champions, to fast-growing early-stage multinationals, the New Perspective strategy has offered relative downside protection in falling markets (on a rolling three-year basis). It has also captured long-term structural growth in excess of MSCI ACWI over the medium and long term1. - Proven track record
Over its lifetime of 45+ years, the strategy has managed to generate more wealth (in US dollar terms) than an investment in MSCI ACWI, and has demonstrated resilience during market declines1.
The information in relation to the index is provided for context and illustration only. The fund is an actively managed UCITS. It is not managed in reference to a benchmark. Past results are not a guarantee of future results.
Significant structural changes to the global economy and investment landscape are generating new long-term opportunities:
- Late-cycle market conditions demand a flexible approach in global equities, which does not simply rely on growth stocks to do well.
- As markets continue to be volatile, your clients may be looking for a strategy that has proved resilient when times are tough1.
- With its proven ability to weather different market environments over 45 years1, the New Perspective strategy could be a good solution for clients who have previously been tempted to stay out of the market.
As 2022 continues to unfold, New Perspective is positioned to address near- and long-term opportunities and challenges by having exposure to:
- economically sensitive companies (e.g. banks),
- innovators with low penetration and long runways (e.g. Software-as-a-Service companies),
- companies with strong pricing power and the driving force of digitialisation (e.g. luxury goods and smart industrials).
The investment objective of the New Perspective fund is to achieve long-term growth of capital by investing in common stocks of companies located around the world.
Our investment team use bottom-up research to identify strong multinationals that:
- stand to gain from changing global trade patterns,
- are often at the forefront of creating, driving and shaping the trends of the future.
Multinationals represent a powerful subset of the global equity universe and have key advantages that can help deliver long-term growth.
Global companies that become really big winners build sustainable competitive advantages over time, and compound their gains over long periods.
Taking a truly long-term investment horizon is an integral part of the New Perspective strategy’s philosophy – we believe this is one of our biggest and most enduring competitive advantages in an industry that continues to shorten its outlook.
Taking the long view
We base our investment decisions on a long-term perspective, aligning our goals with the interests of your clients. Superior, long-term returns are our goal. New Perspective managers are rewarded for their results, not the level of assets they manage.
Breadth of experience
Our process enables individual investment professionals to act on their highest convictions while limiting the risk associated with isolated decision-making. We draw on their diverse experience to build the portfolio.
Deep, fundamental research
Few firms can match the scale and scope of our proprietary research *. Investment analysts conduct thousands of research visits globally every year. This research is then combined with comprehensive macro analysis. This approach has been essential to the results we have delivered to our investors.
*Capital Group manages equities through three investment divisions that make investment and proxy voting decisions independently. Fixed income investment professionals provide fixed income research and investment management across the Capital organisation; however, for securities with equity characteristics, they act solely on behalf of one of the three equity investment groups.

Risk factors you should consider before investing:
- This material is not intended to provide investment advice or be considered a personal recommendation.
- The value of investments and income from them can go down as well as up and you may lose some or all of your initial investment.
- Past results are not a guide to future results.
- If the currency in which you invest strengthens against the currency in which the underlying investments of the fund are made, the value of your investment will decrease. Currency hedging seeks to limit this, but there is no guarantee that hedging will be totally successful.
- The Prospectus – together with any locally-required offering documentation – set out risks, which, depending on the fund, may include risks associated with investing in fixed income, derivatives, emerging markets and/or high-yield securities; emerging markets are volatile and may suffer from liquidity problems.
