The investment objective of the Fund is to seek long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in equity and similar securities issued by companies with exposure to emerging market countries. The Fund will invest primarily in equity and similar securities listed on recognised markets of emerging market countries or in securities listed in developed markets where the underlying business has significant exposure to emerging markets. The Fund will invest in companies which it believes show a variety of positive indicators, such as a sustainable competitive advantage over other similar companies, excellent management, a strong financial history and outlook and a proven track record of quality growth. The Fund may also invest in other asset classes, including, but not limited to, debt securities and interest rates. The Fund may increase its holding in cash and other liquid assets at times of market turbulence.
