More
The Fund invests at least 75% of its assets in shares (equities) and equity-related securities of smaller companies, in any industry, in the EEA or the UK if not part of the EEA. Companies will have their registered office in the EEA or the UK if not part of the EEA.
The Fund may also invest in other assets including companies of any size, in any region, cash and money market instruments.
The Investment Manager may use derivatives (complex financial instruments) to reduce risk or to manage the Fund more efficiently.
The Fund is actively managed with reference to the MSCI Europe Small Cap Index, which is broadly representative of the companies in which it may invest, as this forms the basis of the Fund's performance target and the level above which performance fees may be charged (if applicable). The Investment Manager has discretion to choose investments for the Fund with weightings different to the index or not in the index, but at times the Fund may hold investments similar to the index.
