Objective The Fund aims to outperform (after deduction of costs) the MSCI Pacific Index, as stated in sterling, by at least 1.5% per annum over rolling fiveyear periods. Policy The Fund will invest at least 90% directly or indirectly in shares of companies in developed Asia of any size and in any sector. Developed Asian companies are companies which are listed, incorporated, domiciled or conducting a significant portion of their business in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand or Singapore. The indirect investment will be through collective investment schemes. The Fund may also invest in other transferable securities of companies in developed Asia and money market instruments. The Fund will be actively managed. 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.
