Fund Objective: The investment strategy of the Fund is deemed by the Manager to be capacity constrained and therefore, when the net asset value of the Fund reaches £900,000,000, units in the Fund will not be available to buy until further notice except at the discretion of the Manager (you will still be able to sell your units daily). The Fund aims to achieve positive absolute returns on your investment (i.e. an increase in the overall value of the Fund) over a period of 12 months regardless of market conditions. As such, the Fund will not be managed against any European equity index. The Fund will be managed with the aim of delivering absolute (more than zero) returns on a 12 month basis in any market conditions. However, an absolute return is not guaranteed over a 12 month or any period and the Fund may experience periods of negative return. The Fund’s capital is at risk.
