Investment objective and policy

The Fund aims to grow your investment.

The Fund invests at least 70% of its assets in shares of large and mid sized companies in emerging markets (excluding China) or whose business is predominantly based in emerging markets (also excluding China). This includes companies that are listed on exchanges in developed markets, and that we consider to be particularly well positioned to contribute to, and benefit from, sustainable development. These companies have a total stock market value of at least US$ 1 billion. Emerging markets are countries considered to have social or business activity in the process of rapid growth. The Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in Emerging Markets (excluding China) and any industry. 

The Fund may use derivatives with the aim of risk reduction or efficient management.

Risk Factors

The value of investments and any income from them may go down as well as up and is not guaranteed. Investors may get back significantly less than the original amount invested.

The Fund may also experience the following risks:

Emerging market risk: Emerging markets tend to be more sensitive to economic and political conditions than developed markets. Other factors include greater liquidity risk, restrictions on investment or transfer of assets, failed/delayed settlement and difficulties valuing securities.

Currency risk: The Fund invests in assets which are denominated in other currencies; changes in exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund and could create losses. Currency control decisions made by governments could affect the value of the Fund's investments and could cause the Fund to defer or suspend redemptions of its shares.

For further information on risks, please refer to the Risk Factors section in the Company prospectus.

Investment should be made on the basis of the Prospectus and Key Investor Information Document. If you are in any doubt as to the suitability of any of our funds for your investment needs, please seek independent financial advice.
