The Fund aims to achieve capital growth over the long term (5 years, or more). It also looks to outperform the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the “Index”) over rolling 3-year periods, after the deduction of charges. The Fund is actively managed, and invests at least 75% of its assets in equities and equity-related securities of emerging market companies. There is no restriction on size, but investment tends to focus on larger companies, such as those included in the Index.
