Fund objective

Objective The Fund aims to outperform (after deduction of costs) the MSCI China All Shares Index, as stated in sterling, by at least 2% per annum over fiveyear rolling periods. Policy The Fund will invest at least 90% in the shares of, or depositary receipts representing the shares of, Chinese companies. Chinese companies are companies that have their headquarters or a significant part of their operations in China and may be listed, quoted or traded on any market. Depositary receipts are transferable securities issued by a bank and which represent the shares of a company. The Fund may also invest in other transferable securities of Chinese companies and money market instruments. The Fund will be actively managed and may invest in companies of any size and in any sector. Other Information You can sell some or all of your shares on any business day in the United Kingdom by contacting our Dealing Department by phone or post. Where properly completed documentation is received by post, shares will be sold at the next valuation point following receipt of the instruction. Income will be re-invested. No further shares will be purchased but the reinvestment will be reflected in the price of your existing accumulation shares. You are, however, deemed to have received the income for tax purposes. For further explanation and information see the investment objective and policy section of the Prospectus, which is available by contacting us. Recommendation: this Fund may not be appropriate for investors who plan to withdraw their money within five years.
