Fund Objective

The Fund aims to provide an above average income return from its equity investments (i.e. shares), compared to the income produced by European equity markets (excluding the UK) as represented by FTSE World Europe Ex UK Index, without sacrificing capital growth (i.e. the value of the assets held by the Fund) over the long term (5 or more consecutive years beginning at the point of investment). The Fund invests at least 70% of its total assets in the equity securities (e.g. shares) of companies domiciled in, or the main business of which is in Europe, excluding the United Kingdom. The investment adviser (IA) may use derivatives (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets) to help achieve the Fund’s investment objective.
