New Fund Name: OMR Janus Henderson Emerging Markets Asia Fund
New Investment Objective:
The Fund aims to provide capital growth over the long term by outperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Asia Index by at least 2% per annum, before the deduction of charges, over any 5 year period. The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in a portfolio of shares (also known as equities) of companies, of any size, in any industry, in Asian emerging markets. Companies will have their registered office or do most of their business (directly or through subsidiaries) in Asian emerging markets. ‘Asian Emerging Markets’ are countries in the MSCI Emerging Markets Asia Index, or which are, in the Investment Manager’s opinion, an emerging market country. The Fund may also invest in other assets including Collective Investment Schemes (including those managed by Janus Henderson) and cash. The Investment Manager may use derivatives (complex financial instruments), including Total Return Swaps, to reduce risk or to manage the Fund more efficiently.
This fund invests in the underlying retail fund in order to track its performance, this means that fund performance may differ to the underlying fund.
