Fund Objective
The investment objective of the International Growth & Value Fund (IGV Fund) is to realise capital growth through investing principally in listed equities internationally. The main areas of investment will be the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, North America and Japan, although a proportion of the IGV Fund's assets may be invested in other areas. The Investment Adviser may mitigate any adverse movements in the financial markets by increasing the level of the IGV Fund's liquidity through the realisation of cash and the utilisation of stock exchange futures.
