Aviva Investors UK Equity Income Fund
Aviva Investors UK Equity Fund
Aviva Investors US Equity Income Fund
This is a significant achievement for Aviva Investors, the funds are already S&P rated, and this is further recognition that we can deliver credible funds that meet our clients’ investment objectives. Chris Murphy, established Fund Manager of the UK Equity and UK Equity Income fund, is increasingly being acknowledged by the intermediary market place and this will further reinforce his position. Having only launched our US Equity Income Fund in July we are particularly pleased to be rated as this recognises the fund management team at River Road’s successful 8 year track record for this strategy*.

FUNDS AT A GLANCE
Aviva Investors UK Equity Income Fund
The Aviva Investors UK Equity Income Fund uses a truly active fundamental investment process seeking to unlock long-term value opportunities by focusing on quality franchises with strong or growing cash flows and earnings. It is not driven by benchmark considerations, a herd mentality or market momentum. This has resulted in a strong long-term performance track record, with the fund ranked in the top quartile of its IMA peer group over the past 1 and 5 years** and a historic yield of 3.3%***.
Aviva Investors UK Equity Fund
The Aviva Investors UK Equity Fund utilises a consistent long-term investment process to deliver a portfolio of best ideas. The fund is primarily driven by a fundamental research process and by active engagement. The fund seeks to deliver consistent performance in all market conditions with a focus on value and growth opportunities across a broad range of market capitalisations. The fund is ranked in the top quartile of its IMA peer group over 1, 3 and 5 years**.
Aviva Investors US Equity Income Fund
The Aviva Investors US Equity Income Fund aims to provide an attractive yield and a competitive total return through an all-cap strategy to investing in US companies with strong business models and sustainable dividend growth. The strategy developed and managed by River Road Asset Management LLC (acquired by Aviva in early 2010), has generated returns ahead of both benchmark**** and S&P 500 over the past 8 years*.

*** The historic yield reflects distributions declared over the past year as a percentage of the share price, as at 29 November 2011. This does not include initial charges and investors may be subject to further tax on their distributions. The annual management charge is charged to capital. This has the effect of increasing the distributions for the year by 1.5 percentage points and constraining the fund’s capital performance to an equivalent extent. All other fund expenses are charged to income.
