US Large Cap
An actively managed strategy seeking to provide enduring, added value in the world's largest and most liquid equity market.Differentiated approach to US large cap equities
Our US Large Cap strategy offers investors access to a diversified portfolio of high conviction US large cap investment ideas. Managed by Schroders’ Global Equities team, the strategy seeks to exploit persistent market inefficiencies, investing in underappreciated companies that will ‘surprise’ the market by delivering forward earnings growth ahead of expectations; stocks we believe have a positive “growth gap”. This approach harnesses proven drivers of outperformance, underpinning a strategy designed to deliver performance consistency and attractive risk adjusted returns.
How do we add value in the world's largest & most liquid equity market?
Capitalise on long-term mispriced growth (core positions)
Most of the portfolio invests in companies where we believe consensus underestimates the long-term forward earnings potential. Markets are increasingly myopic and often fail to look far enough ahead when appraising the earnings power of great companies.
Exploit nearer-term inflection points (opportunistic positions)
A smaller allocation of the portfolio is invested in nearer-term, tactical opportunities to exploit instances where the market overreacts to news flow or fails to correctly model catalysts that will change a company’s growth trajectory.
Actively manage downside risk
We strengthen decision-making through an innovative and dynamic risk framework, designed to enhance downside protection and deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns.
“I look for companies where I have high conviction in their ability to generate positive earnings surprises.”

US Large Cap – risk considerations
- Liquidity risk: In difficult market conditions, the portfolio may not be able to sell a security for full value or at all. This could affect performance.
- Operational risk: Operational processes, including those related to the safekeeping of assets, may fail. This may result in losses to the portfolio.
- Currency risk: The portfolio may lose value as a result of movements in foreign exchange rates.
- Derivatives risk – Efficient Portfolio Management: Derivatives may be used to manage the portfolio efficiently. A derivative may not perform as expected, may create losses greater than the cost of the derivative and may result in losses.
- Emerging Markets & Frontier risk: Emerging markets, and especially frontier markets, generally carry greater political, legal, counterparty, operational and liquidity risk than developed markets.
- Counterparty risk: The portfolio may involve contractual agreements with counterparties. If a counterparty is unable to fulfil their obligations, this may result in losses.
- Performance risk: Investment objectives express an intended result but there is no guarantee that such a result will be achieved. Depending on market conditions and the macro economic environment, investment objectives may become more difficult to achieve.
