New Investment Objective:
The objective of the Fund is to provide capital growth and income and outperform the MSCI All Countries World Index, net of charges, over rolling five-year periods.
The Fund invests at least 90% of the value of its property in shares of companies located in developed and emerging markets anywhere in the world. Investment may be direct or indirect (e.g. through collective investment schemes), however the ACD expects that the Fund will typically hold investments directly. Investment will not be confined to any particular geographic or economic sector. The Fund may invest in companies of any size, including smaller companies. The Fund will be concentrated in terms of the number of investments it holds (i.e. have less than 50holdings).
The Fund may also invest in collective investment schemes, warrants, money market instruments, deposits, cash and near cash.
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.
