The aim of the Fund is to provide income, that is, money paid out of an investment such as dividends from shares, with the potential for some increase in the value of an investment, over a minimum of 5 years. At least 80% of the Fund will be invested in the shares of companies which are listed on stock markets or domiciled in the United States of America. The Fund is actively managed, which means the investment manager decides which investments to buy or sell and when. Whilst the Investment Manager may invest in small, medium and large companies, in order to meet the income objective, there will typically be a bias towards larger companies.
