Fund Objectives

The investment objective of the fund is to provide long-term capital growth through shares in companies based in China or companies trading in other countries that will benefit from Chinese economic development. The manager uses a bottom-up bias style blend of growth/value to manage the fund by investing in attractively valued stocks with above-average earnings growth -"growth at the right price". It is expected that no more than 5%of the fund will be committed to one stock and will typically remain invested across all market cycles. Currency hedging is utilized as a defensive strategy.
