Objectives and Approach

The fund aims to increase the value of the amount you invest in it over a period of years. The fund invests primarily in a portfolio of European securities, excluding UK securities, or in the securities issued by companies transacting a significant proportion of their business (at least 50% of revenues) in Europe (excluding the UK). The fund intends to invest primarily in companies which pay dividends, but may invest in companies which do not pay dividends. The fund may invest in excess of 20% of its Net Asset Value in emerging markets. Under normal market conditions the fund intends to invest in at least 20 stocks. The fund may invest in securities of companies with a wide range of market capitalizations and in companies domiciled throughout Europe but excluding the UK. The bulk of the fund’s investments will however be concentrated in liquid shares of companies with a market capitalisation in excess of $500million, however the fund may invest in liquid shares of companies with a market capitalisation of less than $500million. The fund is considered to be actively managed in reference to the MSCI Europe ex UK Index (the “Benchmark”) by virtue of the fact that it uses the Benchmark solely for performance comparison purposes.

        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.
