With effect from 16 December 2013, the investment objective of the Nikko AM Global Dividend Equity Fund (formerly known as "Horizon Global Equity Fund") is to provide a total return of capital growth and income over the medium to long term by investing in shares or securities equivalent to shares listed on stock exchanges globally.
The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of dividend-producing equity investments that offer attractive and sustainable dividends from companies with relatively strong sustainable cash flows, stable growth and stable dividend payout. There will be no target industry or sector.
^ With effect from 1 December 2016, the benchmark for the Nikko AM Global Dividend Equity Fund (i.e. MSCI All Country World Index, USD base) has been removed and there will be no benchmark for this Fund. This is because pursuant to the investment objective of the Fund, the Fund is managed on a total return basis and as such, it does not seek to outperform any benchmark. Prior to 1 February 2017, it was MSCI All Country World Index, USD base - Gross Total Return. Prior to 16 December 2013, the benchmark was a composite of Russell 1000® Net 30% Index; FTSE All Share Index; TOPIX Dividend Included Index; Russell Developed Europe ex-UK Large Cap Index (net); and Russell Asia Pacific ex Japan (All cap) Index, according to their regional weights from time to time.
