Launched
1 Dec 1999
To seek to achieve capital growth over the longer term (at least seven years), after all costs and charges have been taken. Underlying this objective is a fundamental philosophy of capital preservation. Capital invested is at risk and there is no guarantee that the objective will be achieved over any time period.
