The investment objective of the Sub-Fund is to generate long-term capital growth through investing in equities of European companies in developed European equity markets. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its Net Asset Value ("NAV") in equities issued by what the Investment Manager reasonably considers non-European companies and which are listed or traded on one or more Recognised Exchanges. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its NAV in emerging markets. The Fund will not concentrate investments in any one European country or in any one industrial or economic sector. The Fund may invest up to 10%, in aggregate, of its NAV in UCITS and/or non-UCITS collective investment schemes, of which up to 5% of its NAV may be invested in UCITS investing in European Companies. Under normal market conditions, the Fund may hold or maintain up to one third of its NAV in cash deposits and/or cash equivalents. In exceptional market conditions the amount of such cash deposits and/or cash equivalents may be up to 50% of the Fund"s NAV and may exceed this where the investment manager believes it is in the best interest of the shareholder.
