The Fund seeks to provide capital growth and income. It aims to achieve an income in line with, or in excess of, the income of the FTSE All-Share Index (Total Return)* over the long term (any 5 year period). The Fund invests at least 70% of its assets in equity securities (shares of companies and other equity related investments) issued by companies domiciled in, or which have significant operations in, the UK (“UK Companies”). The UK Companies will also be listed or traded on a regulated market in the UK or in a country of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The UK Companies can operate in any industry, and be any size (i.e., any “market capitalisation” (the share price of the company multiplied by the number of shares issued)). It is intended that the Fund will invest in equity securities of UK Companies that pay income to help achieve the investment objective.
