The objective of the Fund is to increase the value of the Fund (capital appreciation) over the long term. The Fund intends to achieve this objective through investment in a portfolio of high-quality, long-term growth companies. The Fund will invest at least two-thirds of its assets in securities issued by companies quoted or traded on regulated markets and that have their headquarters in, or principally carry out their activities in Emerging Markets or in securities issued by governments of Emerging Market countries. Emerging Markets are predominantly located in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Eastern and Southern Europe. The Fund may invest in China A-Shares. The Fund may also gain indirect exposure to such companies by investment in market access products such as low exercise call warrants or participatory notes. While the Fund will primarily invest in shares and in other securities related to shares, it may, where it is deemed in the best interest of investors, invest in investment grade debt securities issued or guaranteed by a government of an Emerging Markets country, the U.S.A. or any European Union member state. The Fund may invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and/or in units of other UCITS or collective investment schemes, including other sub-funds of Comgest Growth plc. The base currency of the Fund is USD. The Fund is actively managed. This means that the Fund manager applies a detailed fundamental analysis in order to selectively pick companies in a discretionary manner. The Fund is not managed relative to a benchmark index. For non-distributing share classes, income earned by the Fund is fully reinvested. Distributing share classes may pay income earned to investors through dividends. Due to the long-term objective of the Fund, the Fund may not be appropriate for investors who plan to invest for less than 5 years. Shares in the Fund trade every day that is a business day in Dublin. You can place an order to buy or sell shares on any business day. The Fund may use fx forwards with the aim of limiting the effect that changes in foreign exchange rates may have on the value of the Fund. Fx swaps may be used for the purpose of rolling maturing fx forward contracts.
