Objectives and Approach

The Fund aims to grow your investment. The Fund invests at least 70% of its assets in shares of companies based in, or closely associated with, the Asia Pacific region (excluding Japan). The Fund invests in companies offering the potential to pay a regular income as well as having the potential for long term growth. The Fund may invest in any emerging markets in the Asia Pacific region, in companies of any size or industry. Emerging markets are countries that are progressing toward becoming advanced, usually shown by some development in financial markets, the existence of some form of stock exchange and a regulatory body. The Fund will not invest more than 50% of its assets in China A Shares. The Fund may use derivatives with the aim of risk reduction or efficient management.

        Important Information
        Headline performance can mask the true characteristics of a fund. Without fully understanding how a fund is managed, you may inadvertently become exposed to an undesirable level of risk to your capital. Some funds carry a dilution levy which reduces the number of units realised on any initial investment as an initial charge. If this fund carries such a levy it should be detailed in the Key Investor Information Document (KIID), which we must provide and you should read before investing.

        The charts and performance data shown are supplied by an external data provider and may contain data that appears to precede the introduction of the clean unit class for this fund. In such cases, historical data has been synthesised at the entire discretion of that external provider as realistically as possible using historical data recorded against the previously available commission-paying version of the fund, adjusting for fees in the process.
