The Fund aims to provide income combined with long term capital growth by investing at least two-thirds in companies listed globally. The Fund aims to outperform the MSCI AC World (Net) Index (USD) with a yield greater than the benchmark before charges. The Fund will invest at least two-thirds in equities and equity related securities of companies on registered stock exchanges. The Fund may also invest in other funds (including those managed by abrdn) and money-market instruments, and cash. The Fund is actively managed. The Fund invests the majority of its assets for the long term to generate income and capital growth. To increase the overall level of income generated, a small portion of investments are held for short periods of time to capture regular dividends that are paid along with one off or special dividends from companies. The benchmark is used as a reference point for portfolio construction and as a basis for setting risk constraints. In order to achieve its objective, the Fund will take positions whose weightings diverge from the benchmark or invest in securities which are not included in the benchmark. The investments of the Fund may deviate significantly from the components and their weightings in the benchmark.
