New objective:
The fund aims to provide income and capital growth in excess of the MSCI World (Net Total Return) Index (after fees have been deducted) over a 3 to 5 year period by investing in equities of companies worldwide. The Fund is actively managed and invests at least 80% of its assets in equity and equity related securities of companies worldwide which offer sustainable dividend payments. The Fund seeks to invest in a diversified portfolio of equity and equity related securities that (1) offer capital growth and income; and (2) whose dividend yield in aggregate is greater than the average market yield. Equities with below average dividend yield may be included in the portfolio when the investment manager considers that they have the potential to pay above average income in future. 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.
