The investment objective of the fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The fund invests generally in equity securities with a market capitalisation in excess of US $ 3 billion, at the time of purchase. At least two thirds of the investment of the fund (in terms of total assets) will be in equity securities of issuers located or active mainly in countries that, in the opinion of the Manager or the international community, are emerging or frontier country markets. While the Manager has broad discretion to identify markets it considers to qualify as emerging market and/or frontier country markets, emerging markets and/or frontier country markets are generally located in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Central and South America and the developing countries of Europe. Equity securities include common and preferred stock, warrants, rights and depository receipts.
