    Suitability

    The investment return objective of the Fund is to maximise long term capital appreciation, by investing primarily in a concentrated long only portfolio of global growth oriented small and medium capitalisation companies.

    You may consider this fund if you are looking for capital growth, intend to invest in global growth equities for at least 5-7 years, accessing  leading-edge companies at the forefront of structural change and wish to remain fully invested (less than 10% cash) and are therefore less concerned by short term market volatility.

    This Fund is not suitable for those investors with a short investment time horizon (less than 5 years), seeking regular income or does not have a high / very high tolerance for risk given full exposure to equities.
