The objective of the Fund is to seek to achieve asset growth through investment in a well-diversified portfolio of equity securities of issuers in the Emerging Markets or of issuers established outside of the Emerging Markets, which have a predominant proportion of their assets or business operations in the Emerging Markets and which are listed, traded or dealt in on a Regulated Market worldwide. It is not proposed to concentrate investments in any one industry or sector. The Fund takes sustainability risk and ESG Characteristics (as defined below) into account as part of its selection process (as further described in section “Sustainability Approach” below).
