Objectives and Approach

The Fund seeks to provide capital growth by outperforming each of (i) TOPIX Total Return Index (GBP) (“TOPIX”) and (ii) Russell/Nomura Large Cap Value Total Return Index (“RNLCV”), both converted to sterling, in a market cycle of five years. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in (i) equities of Japanese companies; or (ii) companies which derive a substantial part of their revenues from activities in Japan. The Investment Manager’s investment process focuses on selecting stocks which it considers to be undervalued based on their Price to Book ratio (which compares a company’s share price with the accounting value of its assets (“PBR”)) relative to TOPIX). The Fund has a “Value” bias, as opposed to funds which have a “Growth” bias (i.e. invest in companies with high PBRs).

        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.
