Policy The Fund will invest at least 90% in shares of emerging market companies. Emerging market companies are companies which are listed, incorporated, domiciled or conducting a significant portion of their business in emerging markets and the Fund may invest in any sector. Emerging markets will be determined by the Investment Manager at its sole discretion. The emerging market companies in which the Fund will invest are those having a market capitalisation free float above £1 billion. The Fund may also invest in other transferable securities of emerging market companies and money market instruments. The Fund will be actively managed.
