The Fund aims to deliver income with the potential for capital growth over the long term (5 years or more), by investing primarily in companies in the Asia Pacific region (excluding Japan).
The Fund aims to deliver an annual net target income yield of at least 110% of the yield of the MSCI All Countries Asia Pacific Excluding Japan Index.
The Manager has discretion over which investments are held in the portfolio. The Fund will typically invest at least 90% (minimum 80%) in companies or company related derivatives. The Fund may also invest in other assets, such as other investment funds (up to 10%), bonds (which are like loans that pay a fixed or variable rate of interest) issued by companies or governments, cash and other similar investments.
The Fund may also make use of derivatives, which are sophisticated instruments whose value is linked to the rise and fall of other assets. The Fund can use derivatives to generate market exposure that exceeds the value of its assets and for the purposes of hedging and efficient portfolio management (to reduce risk or manage the Fund more efficiently).
