The Fund aims to provide a return (combining capital and income) which is greater than the FTSE EPRA NAREIT Developed Custom Mid Day Net Tax TR Index, after charges are deducted, over any three-year period. The Fund is actively managed and invests, directly or indirectly in real estate companies in Europe, the US, Australia and Asia. The Fund seeks its index outperformance by investing in broadly the same geographical regions, and in broadly the same amounts, as the index, whilst not being constrained to invest in the companies included in the Index. The Fund invests at least 60% in equities of real estate companies as well as gaining exposure to such companies or to real estate sector indices through investment in contracts for differences and other derivative instruments (including taking both long and short positions).
