The Fund aims to produce steady capital growth over the long term by investing primarily in a portfolio of equities and related derivatives. While the Fund aims to achieve a positive return there is no guarantee it will be achieved over the long term, or over any period of time. There is no guarantee that all capital invested in the Fund will be returned. The Fund will seek to achieve its objectives by holding investments which in the opinion of the ACD, in aggregate, and particularly over the long term, offer a level of risk lower than that of the FTSE All Share Index. Such investments could include equities, equity derivatives and equity linked notes. Deposits and other bond investments may also be held for risk management purposes. At least 80% of the Fund’s equities will be sterling denominated.
