The Fund aims to provide a return on your investment (generated through an increase in the value of the assets held by the Fund) over the long term (5 or more consecutive years beginning at the point of investment). The Fund invests at least 70% of its total assets in the equity securities (e.g. shares) of companies which are domiciled in, or the main business of which is in, Asia excluding Japan. The Fund has the flexibility to invest outside of the asset class and geographical focus set out above, which for the avoidance of doubt may include Japan.
