BNY Mellon Asian Income Fund EUR A Acc

OBJECTIVE To provide income with the potential for capital growth over the longer term. POLICY The Fund will: – invest primarily (meaning at least two-thirds of the Fund's Net Asset Value) in a portfolio of equity and equity related securities (e. g. company shares) in the Asia Pacific region including Australia and New Zealand (excluding Japan); – invest in both developed and emerging market Asia Pacific countries; – have no particular industry or sector focus; and – neither promote environmental and/or social characteristics pursuant to Article 8 of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation "SFDR" nor have sustainable investment as its objective pursuant to Article 9 of SFDR. Consequently, for the purposes of SFDR it is considered an Article 6 Fund. The Fund may: – invest up to 10% in other collective investment schemes; – invest up to 20% in emerging market countries including China and India but will not gain exposure to Russia; – invest on a long and short basis; and – invest in derivatives (financial instruments whose value is derived from other assets) to help achieve the Fund's investment objective. The Fund will also use derivatives with the aim of risk or cost reduction or to generate additional capital or income. Benchmark: The Fund will measure its performance against the FTSE Asia Pacific ex Japan TR Index (the "Benchmark"). The Fund is actively managed, which means the Investment Manager has absolute discretion to invest outside the Benchmark subject to the investment objective and policies disclosed in the Prospectus. While the Fund's holdings may include constituents of the Benchmark, the selection of investments and their weightings in the portfolio are not influenced by the Benchmark. The investment strategy does not restrict the extent to which the Investment Manager may deviate from the Benchmark.
