INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund aims to provide capital growth over the long term.
Performance target: To outperform the NASDAQ Biotechnology Total Return Index by 2% per annum, before the deduction of charges, over any 5 year period.
More
The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in shares (equities) and equity-related securities of companies, which are biotechnology or biotechnology-related, of any size, including smaller capitalisation companies, in any country.
The Fund may also invest in other assets including bonds (including convertible bonds), preference shares, cash and money market instruments.
The Investment Manager may use derivatives (complex financial instruments) with the aim of making investment gains in line with the Fund's objective, to reduce risk or to manage the Fund more efficiently.
The Fund is actively managed with reference to the NASDAQ Biotechnology Total Return 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
The value of an investment and the income from it can fall as well as rise as a result of market and currency fluctuations and you may not get back the amount originally invested.
Potential investors must read the prospectus, and where relevant, the key investor information document before investing.
