The Fund's investment objective is to achieve capital growth over the medium term, which should be considered as a period of 3-5 years, by predominantly investing in the shares of UK medium-sized companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. At least 50% of the Fund will be invested in medium-sized UK companies that form part of the FTSE 250 ex-IT Index. UK companies are defined as those domiciled in the UK, or which have significant UK business operations. Up to 30% of the Fund's assets may be invested in the shares of medium-sized companies that are not UK companies, but which are listed in the UK.
