# What is this product? 

This product is a closed-end Investment Company incorporated in England and listed on the London Stock Exchange. 

This product invests in an internationally diversified portfolio of publicly-listed securities (ordinary shares in companies and bonds listed on an exchange) and unlisted securities (instruments not traded on an exchange) and private equity (direct investments into companies rather than via stock holdings), with the objective of securing long-term growth in capital and income. There are no specific geographic or industry sector exposure limits. A maximum of 5% of the portfolio value may be invested in unlisted securities, excluding private equity investments, and long-term exposure to private equity will not exceed 20% without approval from shareholders. The Company has both short and long-term credit facilities in place. 

Derivatives (investment contracts between the Company and counterparties, the values of which are derived from one or more underlying assets) may be used for income enhancement and efficient portfolio management. Borrowings, which may be short or long-term, in sterling or foreign currencies, would normally fall within a range of 0% to 20% of net assets. 

The Company excludes investment in certain issuers that are considered harmful to the environment or society: 

▪ Controversial weapons producers: Landmines, Cluster Munitions, 

Chemical and Biological Weapons; Depleted Uranium Weapons, Blinding Laser Weapons, Weapons with Non-Detectable Fragments. Our definition of production extends to manufacturers of controversial weapon systems, munitions, exclusive delivery platforms and key components; 

▪ Tobacco producers; 

▪ Issuers involved in the development of new thermal coal mining or 

power generation facilities; and 

▪ Issuers that derive >30% of their revenue from thermal coal extraction 

and power generation. 

A commitment has also been made to transition the Company’s portfolio 

to net zero carbon emissions by 2050. 

This product is intended for UK retail and professionally-advised private clients that are prepared to take on a medium level of risk of loss to their original capital in order to get a higher potential return. 

The product has no fixed term or maturity and cannot be terminated without a shareholder vote.

# What are the risks and what could I get in return? 

The summary risk indicator is a guide to the level of risk of this product compared to other products. It shows how likely it is that the product will lose money because of movements in the markets. 

# 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Lower risk  Higher risk 

The risk indicator assumes you keep the product for five years. The actual risk can vary significantly if you sell your shares at an early stage and you may get back less than you invested. You may not be able to sell your shares easily or you may have to sell at a price that significantly impacts on how much you get back. 

We have classified this product as 4, which is a medium risk class. This rates the potential losses from future performance at a medium level. In periods when market conditions are poor, the value of your investment may fall and may impact the amount you get back in the long term. 

In addition to market risk and risks introduced by way of regulation, this product also carries interest rate risk; funding risk; credit risk and foreign currency risk. 

The Company applies a range of measures as part of its consideration of ESG factors, including the exclusion of investments involved in certain industries and/or activities. This reduces the investable universe and may impact the performance of the Company positively or negatively relative to a benchmark or other funds without such restrictions. 

The value of your investment can go down as well as up. You may lose some or all of your investment. This product does not provide any protection from future market conditions and regulatory changes. There can be no assurances that the objective of the product will be achieved or that dividend distributions will continue to be made. The use of gearing can enhance returns to investors in a rising market, but if the market falls the losses may be greater.

The main factors likely to affect future returns are the global economic outlook which will be a key driver for corporate earnings and interest rates which will influence stock valuations. Aside from these and other macro-drivers, stock selection will be the main driver of returns. Asset allocation between markets and sectors will also contribute to the future returns, with currency rates versus sterling also relevant for the eventual return. Gearing will also make a difference given the Company's policy to use this strategically. 

An appropriate comparator benchmark for reviewing performance is the FTSE All World Net TR Index. However, as the investment trust is actively 

managed, it is not constrained by this benchmark and has significant freedom to invest in a portfolio that is materially different to the benchmark’s own 

composition. As such the performance and volatility of the investment trust will vary to that of the benchmark. 

What could affect my return positively? 

The conditions that would be conducive to the investment trust generating positive returns would be a positive outlook for the global economy, lower interest rates and political stability. Good stock selection and asset allocation, as well as the impact of gearing can also impact returns positively. 

What could affect my return negatively? 

The conditions that would be conducive to the investment trust generating lower returns or losses would be a deterioration in the outlook for the global economy, higher interest rates and negative geopolitical events. Poor stock selection and asset allocation, as well as the impact of gearing can also impact returns negatively. 

If the investment trust is sold under severely adverse market conditions, you may increase the risk of receiving back significantly less than you invested. 

# What happens if the Company is unable to pay out? 

The Company's shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange. Should the Company be liquidated, the amount you receive for your holding will be based on the value of assets available for distribution after all other liabilities, but before shareholders, have been paid. Shareholders in this company do not have the right to make a claim to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme in the event that the Company is unable to pay out. 

# What are the costs? 

Costs incurred in the running of the Company are disclosed within the Company’s latest Annual Report and, in accordance with the Association of 

Investment Companies guidance, are disclosed monthly within the Company Factsheet as an Ongoing Charge. The latest published Ongoing Charge for the Company (expressed as a percentage of average net assets) was 0.45%. For the avoidance of doubt this charge does not represent an additional cost to you in acquiring shares in the Company, it represents the operating costs borne by the Company that are reflected within the 

Company’s Net Asset Value and ultimately in the Share Price you pay in acquiring the Company’s shares. Depending on how you acquire or dispose of 

shares in the Company, you may be charged additional costs, these may include broker commission, platform fees, advisory fees and/or stamp duty. Details of any additional costs, together with the impact that all costs will have on your investment over time, will be provided by your chosen platform or 

adviser. This disclosure has been prepared with reference to the FCA’s statement on 19 September 2024 that Investment Trusts are no longer required 

to follow the historical cost disclosures under the PRIIPs Regulation. It therefore does not seek to comply with the requirements of the UK PRIIPS Regulation in all respects.

Recommended holding period: 5 years 

There is no minimum or maximum required period for investors to hold shares in this product, but the shares may not be suitable for investors intending to hold them for less than five years. Investors may sell their shares at any time without penalty through a broker, private investor plan administrator or adviser. 

The sale price will be determined at arms’ length based on trading prices at the time on the London Stock Exchange and will not necessarily be equal to 

the net asset value per share of F&C Investment Trust PLC. The share price is updated regularly on the website www.fandcit.com. Market values may go down as well as up over short and long periods and so investors should invest with a view to long term returns. The amount investors get back will be influenced by the market factors at the time of sale and by the charges levied by the broker/plan manager. If you sell your shares before the end of the recommended holding period you may increase the risk of receiving back less than you invested.
