The Fund aims to increase in value through investment growth by more than the MSCI Emerging Markets (Net Dividends) Index over periods of five years after all fees and costs are deducted. The Fund invests at least two thirds (but typically significantly more) in emerging markets (countries whose economy and financial markets are still developing). The Fund typically invests in shares of around 60–80 companies of any size or industry that: are listed on an emerging markets stock exchange, or are domiciled or conduct a significant proportion of their business in emerging markets, or receive a significant amount of their revenues from emerging markets.
