Initiation: Small-cap growth with value discipline

Jupiter US Smaller Companies (JUS) is a specialist small- and mid-cap fund focused on the US market. It has been managed since 2001 by Robert Siddles (as F&C US Smaller Companies until both manager and trust transferred to Jupiter Asset Management in early 2014). The manager has a strong valuation focus and seeks to invest in companies that have a good franchise, significant inside ownership, high free cash flow, pricing power and at least 50% share price upside. While US market performance has been led by large-cap and growth stocks in recent years, JUS has a solid long-term track record (annualised returns of c 7-8% over 10 years in both share price and NAV terms) and proven defensive characteristics in volatile markets.
