Investment Objectives

This fund aims to achieve high total investment return. It invests primarily in equity securities of companies anywhere in the world that pay, or may be expected to pay, dividends as well as in other types of securities that may be expected to distribute income.

Investment Strategy

The portfolio adviser identifies companies that have the potential for success in their industry and then considers the impact of economic trends. The portfolio adviser uses techniques such as fundamental analysis to assess growth potential and valuation. This means evaluating the financial condition and management of each company, its industry and the overall economy.
