The investment objective of the Emerging Markets Core Equity Fund is to maximise long-term total return. The investment policy of this Fund is to purchase transferable securities of publicly-traded companies in emerging markets which the ACD deems eligible or of companies which derive a significant proportion of their business from such emerging markets. The Fund’s investment objective may also be achieved through the use of depositary receipts, which may be listed or traded outside the issuer’s domicile country, representing securities of companies meeting the investment criteria.
