Investment objective
The fund invests in smaller companies worldwide in order to secure a high total return. The fund pursues this investment objective by investing in a large number of stocks in various industry sectors and geographic locations. There are no specific sector or geographical exposure limits. Whilst the fund has a global orientation, its objective is to find attractively valued investment opportunities wherever they may be and it is therefore not constrained to mandatory weightings per geographic region.
