Meet the managers

Jean Roche

Lead Manager

Jean’s investment career started in 1999 after graduating with a BA in Mathematics and French and an MSc in Financial and Industrial Mathematics. Previously she worked at Panmure Gordon and Morgan Stanley, before moving to Hargreave Hale in 2013 as a fund manager. Jean joined Schroders in 2016 and became Co-Fund Manager of Schroder Mid Cap Fund plc in September 2016 and Fund Manager in December 2020.

Andy Brough

Co-Fund Manager

Andy has managed the well-known Schroder UK Mid 250 Fund since its launch in November 1999. His investment career started in 1987 when he joined Schroders as a UK equity fund manager. Previously he worked at Price Waterhouse where he qualified as a chartered accountant. Andy is head of the Schroders London-based pan-European small and mid cap team.

Investment objective

The Company's investment objective is to invest in mid cap equities with the aim of providing a total return in excess of the FTSE 250 (ex-Investment Companies) Index.

Investment policy

The Manager applies a high conviction approach, managing a focused portfolio of resilient companies that are all capable of delivering excess risk-adjusted returns with rising cash flows and earnings. Fundamental research forms the basis of each investment decision taken by the Manager.

The Company will predominantly invest in companies from the FTSE 250 Index, but may hold up to 20% of its portfolio in equities and collective investment vehicles outside the benchmark index.


The Company may also invest in other collective investment vehicles where desirable, for example to provide exposure to specialist areas within the universe.

The Company has the ability to use gearing for investment purposes up to 25% of total assets.

The investment process

In order to meet the investment objective, the Manager applies a high conviction approach, managing a focused portfolio of high quality companies that are all capable of delivering excess risk-adjusted returns with rising cash flows and earnings. These returns can come from disruptors, which change the status quo within the marketplace, or from
established companies which can grow sustainably as they reinvent themselves in response to the disruption. The resilience we also look for comes from strong finances, leading ESG (environment, social and governance) practices and clear strategic direction.

Investor profile

May be suitable for investors who:

  • are aiming for capital growth and willing to invest in a higher-risk fund
  • are willing to accept possible short-term losses for the benefit of potential long-term gains
  • are looking for exposure to small and medium-sized UK companies
  • are comfortable with the risks associated with an equity-based investment
  • have a medium- to long-term investment horizon of three to five years or more

May not be suitable for investors who:

  • are seeking a lower-risk fund
  • don’t want to put their capital at risk
  • are uncomfortable with the level of risk associated with equity-based investment
  • have a short-term investment horizon
  • can’t tolerate short-term volatility
  • are uncomfortable with the risks associated with investing in small and medium-sized companies

What are the risks?

Past performance is not a guide to future performance and may not be repeated. The value of investments and the income from them may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

The Company invests in smaller companies that may be less liquid than in larger companies and price swings may therefore be greater than investment companies that invest in larger companies.

The Company will invest solely in the companies of one country or region. This can carry more risk than investments spread over a number of countries or regions.

As a result of the fees and finance costs being charged partially to capital, the distributable income of the Company may be higher but there is the potential that performance or capital value may be eroded.

The Company may borrow money to invest in further investments, this is known as gearing. Gearing will increase returns if the value of the investments purchased increase in value by more than the cost of borrowing, or reduce returns if they fail to do so.
