Fund Objective

The Fund aims to provide capital growth over the long term. Performance target: To outperform the FTSE World Europe Ex UK Index, after the deduction of charges, over any 5 year period. The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in shares (also known as equities) of companies, in any industry, in Europe (excluding UK). Companies will be incorporated, headquartered, listed on an exchange in, or deriving significant revenue from, this region. The Fund will normally have a strong bias towards medium sized companies. The Fund is actively managed with reference to the FTSE World Europe Ex UK Index, which is broadly representative of the companies in which it may invest, as this forms the basis of the Fund’s performance target. The investment manager has discretion to choose investments for the Fund with weightings different to the index or not in the index. As an additional means of assessing the performance of the Fund, the IA Europe ex UK sector average, which is based on a peer group of broadly similar funds, may also provide a useful comparator.
