Overview
Miton Global Opportunities (formerly Miton Worldwide Growth : MWGT) is a global fund of closed-end funds. It invests in a range of uncorrelated, top down global themes, whilst seeking to benefit from the market inefficiencies commonly found in the closed ended sector.
Miton say there tends to be an instinctively contrarian approach, aiming to profit from the cycle of investor sentiment and the driving forces and catalysts for change in the market. Diversification is achieved through investment in UK and Overseas Equities, Fixed Interest, Alternative Assets, Structured Products, Property and Private Equity.
