The investment objective of the Fund is to maximise long-term total return. The investment policy of this Fund is to purchase transferable securities of certain non-United Kingdom companies. Generally, the Fund intends to purchase a broad and diverse group of readily marketable stocks of companies organised under the laws of certain developed countries, excluding the United Kingdom and in securities of companies organised under the laws of other eligible markets, including the United Kingdom, the majority of whose revenues derive from, or the majority of whose business is conducted in, these countries. The Fund’s investment objective may also be achieved through the use of depositary receipts, which may be listed or traded outside the issuer’s domicile country, representing securities of companies meeting the investment criteria.
