Fund Objective: The Fund aims to provide an above average income return from its equity investments (i.e. shares), compared to the income produced by European equity markets (excluding the UK) as represented by FTSE World Europe Ex UK Index, without sacrificing capital growth (i.e. the value of the assets held by the Fund) over the long term (5 or more consecutive years beginning at the point of investment). The Fund invests at least 70% of its total assets in the equity securities (e.g. shares) of companies domiciled in, or the main business of which is in Europe, excluding the United Kingdom. The investment adviser (IA) may use derivatives (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets) to help achieve the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund has the flexibility to invest outside of the asset class set out above. The Fund is actively managed and the IA has discretion to select the Fund's investments. In doing so, the IA will refer to the FTSE World Europe ex-UK Index (the “Index”) when constructing the Fund’s portfolio, and also for risk management purposes to ensure that the active risk (i.e. degree of deviation from the index) taken by the Fund remains appropriate given the Fund’s investment objective and policy. The IA is not bound by the components or weighting of the Index when selecting investments. The IA may also use its discretion to invest in securities not included in the Index in order to take advantage of specific investment opportunities. However, the geographical scope of the investment objective and policy may have the effect of limiting the extent to which the portfolio holdings will deviate from the Index. The Index should be used by unitholders to compare the performance of the Fund. Recommendation: This Fund may not be appropriate for short-term investment.

What is ESG?
ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance and is an approach for evaluating to what extent a company works towards social goals. For investors this can be used in order to understand how their funds and the assets they are made up of work towards these goals and use that information to help make sustainable investment choices.
The FCA website sets out further information in relation to the sustainability labelling and disclosure requirements.
