Capital Group New Perspective Strategy: A New Perspective on Global Investing
Portfolio manager, Jody Jonsson, discusses what makes Capital Group’s New Perspective strategy different, and outlines the reasons behind a focus on quality multinationals.
Identifying global champions of today and tomorrow
Our portfolio managers use bottom-up research to identify strong multinationals. We believe that investing in early-stage multinationals can potentially offer investors growth and investing in established multinationals can help provide resilience.

A high-conviction, repeatable, long-term approach using the Capital SystemTM
The managers aim to identify companies that stand to gain from long-term trends and market changes, through this the New Perspective strategy has been able to navigate and gain from changes in global trade patterns.

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.
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.
