Description

To achieve its investment objectives, the fund ordinarily commits a minimum of 80% of its total assets (including any capital obtained through borrowing) to a selection of dividend-paying equity securities. The portfolio typically maintains a focused collection of 40 to 60 equity-based holdings. These holdings encompass a variety of instruments, including ordinary shares, preference shares, depository receipts, and other equity-linked investments. A key emphasis of the fund's strategy is to invest in companies primarily linked economically to countries outside of the United States, with particular attention given to opportunities within emerging markets.
