The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve medium to long term capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily in the listed equities of small to medium-sized companies in Asia ex Japan, which in the opinion are undervalued. Small and medium-sized companies shall mean companies which are included in a market index for small and medium-sized companies, or companies that have a comparable market capitalisation. The Fund invests in developed markets and may also invest in emerging markets. The Fund does not focus on any particular industrial sector and no investments shall be made which would result in more than 25% of its net assets being invested in corporations, bodies or issuers with a market capitalisation of US$5 billion or above.
