INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund aims to provide capital growth over the long term. Performance target: To outperform the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, after the deduction of charges, over any 5 year period.
More
The Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in equities or equity-related instruments of emerging markets companies. The Fund will invest in companies focused on innovation, meaning companies that the Investment Manager believes:
• have, or will develop, products, processes, or services, that will provide advancements or improvements in their geographical region or consumer market; or
• rely on technology in connection with their operations or services.
The Fund may invest in companies of any size, including smaller capitalisation companies, in any industry.
Equities may include China A-Shares, directly through the Stock Connect Programs and other eligible exchanges or indirectly through derivative instruments. Exposure to China A-Shares will not be more than 60% of the Fund’s net asset value.
The Fund may also invest in other assets including companies outside emerging markets. For treasury management and/or defensive purposes, the Fund may hold cash, treasury bills pending reinvestment, investment grade fixed income instruments and money market instruments.
The Investment Manager may use derivatives (complex financial instruments) (e.g. total return swaps) for investment purposes, to reduce risk or to manage the Fund more efficiently.
The Fund is actively managed with reference to the MSCI Emerging Markets 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.
Less
