The aim of the Fund is to provide a return on investor's investment (generated through an increase in the value of the assets held by the Fund) (gross of fees) over the long term (5 or more consecutive years beginning at the point of investment), by investing in companies incorporated or listed in emerging markets. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund will invest at least 70% of its total assets in equities (i.e. shares) or equity related investments (i.e. other investments whose value is related to equities) of companies incorporated or listed in emerging markets (i.e. those countries contained in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index that are progressing towards developing more advanced financial and economic structures).
