Fund Objective

The Fund aims to provide a return on your investment (net of fees) over a period of 5 or more consecutive years beginning at the point of investment, generated through an increase to the value of the assets held by the Fund and/or income received from those assets whilst adhering to the Fund’s ethical investment policy (the “Ethical Investment Policy"). The Fund has a flexible approach to asset allocation and will seek to achieve its investment objective through a variety of asset classes. The Fund is actively managed and this may vary without limitation depending on market conditions and other factors at the Investment Manager’s (IM) discretion in accordance with the Fund’s investment policy. In selecting these, the IM will seek to exclude direct investments in companies or issuers which derive more than a specific proportion of their turnover from certain products and services including, alcohol, controversial armaments (such as cluster munitions) and military related activities, gambling, pornography, tobacco, companies engaged in certain environmentally damaging activities and high-interest lending and services contrary to the Sanctity of Life (as defined by MSCI) in accordance with the Fund’s Ethical Investment Policy. In order to seek to comply with the investment policy, the IM will use MSCI Inc., or such other service provider deemed appropriate from time to time.
