The fund seeks to achieve capital appreciation by investing principally in the equity securities of large cap companies (within the market capitalisation range of companies in the S&P500 Index, as at the time of purchase) listed, domiciled or exercising a predominant part of their activity in the United States. Secondarily, the Portfolio may also invest in the equity securities of companies listed, domiciled and exercising a predominant part of their activity outside the United States.
