Objectives and investment policy Objective The Fund aims to outperform (after deduction of costs) the MSCI Europe ex UK Index, as stated in sterling, by at least 1.5% per annum over rolling five-year periods. Policy The Fund will invest at least 90% in shares of European companies of any size and in any sector. European companies are companies which are listed, incorporated, domiciled or conducting a significant portion of their business in Europe (including Turkey and excluding the UK). The Fund may also invest in other transferable securities of European companies and money market instruments. Companies the Fund directly invests in will be selected following a normsbased evaluation. The Fund will comply with the Investment Adviser's policy on assessing breaches of the United Nations Global Compact as outlined in its Stewardship Principles and Guidelines document. The Fund will be managed to align the Fund's holdings with the goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner, in line with global efforts to limit warming to 1.5C ("net zero"). As part of this process, all portfolio companies are actively assessed and prioritised for engagement for their alignment with net zero on an ongoing basis. The Fund will be actively managed and will be concentrated. 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.
