Jupiter Asset Management launches Systematic Thematic Fund Range
29 January 2024
Jupiter Asset Management today announces the launch of five systematic thematic funds managed by Jupiter’s Systematic Equities team. The Article 8 range will focus on transformative, and often disruptive, megatrends to capture long-term capital growth.
We expect these new funds to appeal to clients due to the strength of the investment themes and the team’s proprietary investment process, an active and systematic approach that has been developed and enhanced over more than 18 years.
The new range comprises:
- Jupiter Systematic Disruptive Technology Fund
- Jupiter Systematic Consumer Trends Fund
- Jupiter Systematic Healthcare Innovation Fund
- Jupiter Systematic Demographic Opportunities Fund
- Jupiter Systematic Physical World Fund
“We do not differentiate our thematic funds through over-specialisation of theme, but through our unique, active and systematic investment process. While we are fund managers, we are also computer programmers and have developed over many years our own sophisticated software to swiftly and continuously analyse large amounts of data on a broad universe of stocks. This increases diversification and can help to stabilise returns.”
“The systematic equities team are well-placed to manage this unique proposition, given their deep experience and proven expertise at a time when technology is redefining opportunities for investment managers and their clients.”

Important Information
Funds’ specific risks
- Counterparty Default risk- The risk of losses due to the default of a counterparty on a derivatives contract or a custodian that is safeguarding the fund’s assets.
- Pricing risk – Price movements in financial assets mean the value of assets can fall as well as rise, with this risk typically amplified in more volatile market conditions.
- Market Concentration risk (geographical region/country) – Investing in a particular country or geographic region can cause the value of this investment to rise or fall more relative to investments whose focus is spread more globally in nature.
- Currency risk – The Funds can be exposed to different currencies and movements in foreign exchange rates can cause the value of investments to fall as well as rise.
- Market Concentration risk (sector) – Investing in a particular sector can cause the value of this investment to rise or fall more relative to investments whose focus is spread more evenly across sectors.
- ESG Data – The Funds uses data from third parties (which may include providers for research, reports, screenings, ratings and/or analysis such as index providers and consultants) and that information or data may be incomplete, inaccurate or inconsistent.
- ESG – Investments are selected or excluded on both financial and non-financial criteria. The Funds’ performance may differ from the broader market or other Funds that do not utilise ESG criteria when selecting investments.
- Derivative risk – the Funds may use derivatives to reduce costs and/or the overall risk of the Funds (this is also known as Efficient Portfolio Management or “EPM”). Derivatives involve a level of risk, however, for EPM they should not increase the overall riskiness of the Funds.
- Emerging Markets risk – Emerging markets are potentially associated with higher levels of political risk and lower levels of legal protection relative to developed markets. These attributes may negatively impact asset prices.
The funds may be subject to various other risk factors, please refer to the latest sales prospectus for further information. The Prospectus is available from Jupiter on request.
