This fund aims to invest a significant portion—at least 80%—of its total assets (along with any borrowed capital used for investment) in publicly traded companies that pay dividends. These companies must have substantial economic ties to nations throughout the Asia Pacific region. Typically, under regular market conditions, the fund will diversify its holdings across businesses linked to a minimum of four distinct Asia Pacific countries. These markets can include both established and developing economies, such as Australia, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan.
