Fund objective
Long-term capital growth by investing in global Emerging Equity Markets with a focus on Equities which will result in a portfolio of investments with a potential dividend yield above the market average when the portfolio is considered as a whole. Min. 70% of Sub-Fund assets are invested by us in Equities of Emerging Markets or of countries which are constituents of the MSCI Emerging Market Index as described in the investment objective. Max. 30% of Sub-Fund assets may be invested by us in Equities other than described in the investment objective. Max. 30% of Sub-Fund assets may be invested by us into the China AShares market. Max. 25% of Sub Fund assets may be held by us directly in time deposits and/or (up to 20% of Sub-Fund assets) in deposits at sight and/or invested in Money Market Instruments and/or (up to 10% of Sub-Fund assets) in money market funds for liquidity management. Max. 10% of Sub-Fund assets may be invested by us in UCITS/UCI. All bonds and money market instruments must have at the time of acquisition a rating of at least B- or a comparable rating from a recognised rating agency. Sub-Fund classifies as “equity-fund” according to German Investment Tax Act (GITA). We manage this Sub-Fund in reference to a Benchmark. Sub- Fund's Benchmark plays a role for the Sub-Fund’s performance objectives and measures. We follow an active management approach with the aim to outperform the Benchmark. Although our deviation from the investment universe, weightings and risk characteristics of the Benchmark is likely to be material in our own discretion, the majority of the Sub-Fund's investments (excluding derivatives) may consist of components of the Benchmark. Benchmark: MSCI Emerging Markets Total Return Net (in HKD). You may redeem shares of the Fund usually on each business day. We usually distribute the income of the Fund on a monthly basis. Recommended Holding Period: 5 Years
