The objective of the Fund is to provide total returns comprised of capital growth and income over the long-term, being five years of more. Five years is also the minimum recommended period for holding shares in this Fund. This does not mean that the Fund will achieve the objective over this, or any other, specific time period and there is a risk of loss to the original capital invested. The Investment Adviser aims to achieve the objective of the Fund by investing no less than 90% (excluding cash) of the Fund in a diversified portfolio of shares in property companies, including Real Estate Investment Trusts, in the UK and Europe.
