The aim of the Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation, through investment in equity securities of companies domiciled or exercising the predominant part of their economic activities in Europe, which are listed on European exchanges or a Recognised Exchange. At no time will less than two-thirds of the Fund’s total assets be invested in such securities. From time to time, the Fund may invest in securities listed on a Recognised Stock Exchange outside Europe. Performance of the Fund will be measured against the MSCI Europe NR Index.
