Objectives and Approach

Objective: The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a portfolio of equity securities and equity related securities (such as global depository receipts and American depository receipts) issued by companies in or deriving substantial revenues from emerging countries within the Asia ex-Japan region.Investment Approach: The investment manager seeks to achieve its objective by investing in stocks that are currently out of favour but are likely to perform better in the future. The manager will invest in companies that are attractively priced relative to the quality of the underlying businesses and prioritises those where the potential for gains is greater than the risk of losses. Through fundamental analysis, the manager invests in a small selection of stocks. The manager has a long-term investment horizon and tolerates short-term volatility in stock prices. The investment manager considers environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors within the investment process, integrating insights from our stewardship team, EOS at Federated Hermes, and engaging with investee companies as required to encourage better ESG practices.

        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.
