Investment Objectives

To provide long-term growth through capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities or securities convertible to equity securities of companies in Asia, the Pacific Rim, Australasia, and the Indian subcontinent. We will not change the Fund’s fundamental investment objectives without the consent of unitholders by a majority of votes cast at a meeting of unitholders.

Investment Strategy

To achieve its investment objectives, the Fund: uses two distinct management approaches: security selection and tactical currency management; employs security selection using a bottom-up approach for company selection based on four investment criteria: industry growth, barriers to entry, company management, and fundamental valuation. The process involves screening companies in the Asia Pacific Region that exhibit high stability, strong liquidity, and a proven track record.
