Objective

The objective of the Fund is to achieve long-term capital growth.

Investment Policy

The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a broad range of shares from companies domiciled in developed and developing (emerging market) Asian countries, or from companies which generate a significant amount of their business from these countries.
The Fund may also invest up to 30% in shares issued by companies in Japan or outside of Asia (such as Australia and New Zealand).
The Fund may use financial derivatives (complex instruments based upon the value of underlying assets) to reduce risk, to manage the Fund more efficiently, or to gain exposure to securities in a more efficient way.
The Fund is actively managed and uses the MSCI AC Asia ex Japan Total Return Index (GBP) benchmark for performance comparison purposes.
There is no intention to pay dividends in respect of the Accumulation Share Classes.
You may sell your shares on days which banks are normally open for business in Dublin and London.
Recommendation: this Fund may not be appropriate for investors who plan to withdraw their money within five years.
