The Fund aims to grow investor's investment by providing combined income and capital growth greater than that of the Russell® 3000 Value Index over any given 5 year period, by investing in shares of companies listed on North American stock exchanges. Within this combined aim, the Fund seeks to deliver an income of at least 125% of the income of the Russell® 3000 Value Index over any given 12-month period. Both the income and combined return aims are measured before the deduction of Fund charges and tax. Typically, at least 80% of the Fund will be invested in shares of companies listed on North American stock exchanges.
