The Fund aims to increase the value of your investment over the long term. The Fund is a diversified portfolio that will primarily invest in shares of companies that are located in or earn substantial revenue from countries in Asia (excluding Japan). On occasion it may also invest in other financial instruments, such as other funds, rated or unrated Bonds and Derivatives. The Fund may borrow on a limited basis (up to a maximum of 10% of the value of the Fund). The Funds base currency is USD but its investments may be priced in other currencies. Derivatives may be used to convert the value of those investments into USD.
