The Fund aims to achieve income and capital growth over the long term (5 years plus). The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in shares or other equity related securities of companies incorporated, domiciled or carrying out the main part of their economic activity in Asia and Australasia, excluding Japan. In pursuing the Fund’s investment objective, the fund manager may consider it appropriate to also invest in other transferable securities (including non Asian or Australasian companies), money-market instruments, collective investment schemes (including funds managed by the Invesco group), deposits and cash.
