The Fund seeks to provide an annual level of income (gross of fees) greater than that of the FTSE Developed Index (the “Index”) together with an increase in the value of investments over the long-term (more than 5 years). The Fund is an active fund whereby its multi-manager structure, comprising the Investment Adviser and an independent sub-investment adviser, use their expertise to pick investments to achieve the Fund’s objectives. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in shares of companies which tend to pay out a larger amount of money as income (gross of fees) than an equivalent investment in the Index would pay out. Such companies may be located anywhere in the world. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s assets will be invested in shares. The Fund generally invests in a diverse range of large and mid-size companies representing different economic sectors and industry groups.
