    About this fund

    Fund objectives

    • The Fund seeks to provide an increase in the value of investments over the long-term (more than 5 years).
    • The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in shares of companies located in emerging markets around the world. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund's assets will be invested in shares of such companies. A company is considered to be located in an emerging market country if it is organised under the laws of, or has a principal office in, an emerging country; if it has a class of securities whose principal securities market is in an emerging country; if it derives 50% or more of its total revenue from goods produced, sales made, or services provided in one or more emerging countries; or if it maintains 50% or more of its assets in one or more emerging countries.
    • The Fund is actively managed and uses a multi-manager structure with two investment advisers separately managing part of the Fund's assets. Each investment adviser uses their expertise to pick investments to achieve the Fund's objective.
    • The Investment Adviser has discretion to determine which countries are regarded as emerging markets, although those classified by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as emerging or developing economies will typically be included, together with other countries having similar characteristics. Emerging markets are countries that are progressing toward becoming advanced, usually shown by some development in financial markets, the existence of some form of stock exchange and a regulatory body.
    • The Fund typically invests in a diverse range of companies representing different economic sectors and industry groups across the spectrum of large, mid and small cap value securities, chosen mainly on the basis of an investment approach that focuses on analysing individual shares rather than stock markets. The Fund's holdings will comprise a mix of investments in companies whose earnings are expected to grow faster than their peers in the market (known as 'growth stocks') and those that are considered to have been undervalued by the market (known as 'value stocks') selected from the world's emerging markets.
    • The Fund may also have exposure to bonds and other fixed income securities, other collective investment schemes (which themselves invest in securities which are consistent with the Fund's objective), money market instruments (i.e. investments usually issued by banks or governments that are a short term loan to the issuer by the buyer), deposits, and warrants (which provide the holder with the right, but not the obligation, to purchase a share at a fixed price or amount at a fixed time in the future).
    • The Fund attempts to remain fully invested and hold small amounts of cash except in extraordinary market, political or similar conditions where the Fund may temporarily depart from this investment policy to avoid losses.
    • The FTSE Emerging Index (the “Index”) serves as a reference benchmark for performance comparison. Whilst the Fund may hold investments that are components of the Index, the Index is not considered during portfolio construction and the investment adviser will not manage the extent to which the Fund's investments differ from the Index.

    Performance

    Total Returns (net of fees)

    -

    Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

    The performance of an index is not an exact representation of any particular investment as you cannot invest directly in an index. The performance of the index reflects the reinvestment of Distribution and dividends but does not reflect the deduction of any fees or expenses which would have reduced total returns.

    Recent performance and average annual total returns are calculated through month-end.

    All figures on the "Cumulative" tab, and figures for periods of one year or less, are cumulative returns. All other figures represent average annual returns. Performance figures include the reinvestment of all dividends and any capital gains distributions. The performance data does not take account of the commissions and costs incurred in the issue and redemption of shares. Basis of fund performance NAV to NAV with gross income reinvested.
