The fund's primary objective is to generate sustained capital growth over the long term, offering a less volatile investment journey than what is typically associated with broader international stock markets. Under normal market conditions, it predominantly allocates its assets to a diverse range of non-U.S. equity instruments. These may include ordinary shares, preferred shares, and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). The portfolio is flexible, enabling investments in companies regardless of their market capitalization, and typically spans numerous countries across the globe. To gain exposure to these international issuers, the fund may acquire their shares directly or indirectly through the use of depositary receipts. Consequently, the portfolio inherently carries exposure to currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
