    About this fund

    Fund objectives

    • The Fund seeks to provide an annual level of income (gross of fees) greater than that of the FTSE Developed Index (the “Index”) together with an increase in the value of investments over the long-term (more than 5 years).
    • The Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in shares of companies which tend to pay out a larger amount of money as income (gross of fees) than an equivalent investment in the Index would pay out. Such companies may be located anywhere in the world. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund's assets will normally be invested in shares.
    • The Fund is actively managed and uses a multi-manager structure with two investment advisers separately managing part of the Fund's assets. Each investment adviser uses their expertise to pick investments to achieve the Fund's objective.
    • The Fund generally invests in a diverse range of large and mid-size companies representing different economic sectors and industry groups. Companies are chosen because they consistently pay out money in the form of dividends from shares while also providing a reasonable increase in the value of investments over the long-term. The Fund's holdings will comprise a mix of investments in companies whose earnings are expected to grow faster than their peers in the market and those that are considered to have been undervalued by the market, providing exposure to a broad range of the world's developed and emerging markets. Emerging markets are countries that are progressing toward becoming advanced, usually shown by some development in financial markets, the existence of some form of stock exchange and a regulatory body.
    • The Fund may also have exposure to bonds and other similar securities, other collective investment schemes (which themselves invest in securities which are consistent with the Fund's objective), money market instruments, cash deposits and warrants. Money market instruments are investments usually issued by banks or governments that are a short term loan to the issuer by the buyer. Warrants provide the holder with the right, but not the obligation, to purchase a share at a fixed price or amount at a fixed time in the future.
    • The Fund attempts to remain fully invested and hold small amounts of cash except in extraordinary market, political or similar conditions where the Fund may temporarily depart from this investment policy to avoid losses.
    • The FTSE Developed Index (the “Index”) serves as a reference benchmark for performance comparison. Whilst the Fund may hold investments that are components of the Index, the Index is not considered during portfolio construction and the investment adviser will not manage the extent to which the Fund's investments differ from the Index.
