High Fund Objectives
The investment objective of the fund is to provide long-term capital growth by investing in established Japanese equities that are trading below their true market value. The manager uses a top-down style blend of value/growth to manage the fund by investing in attractively valued stocks with above-average earnings growth - "growth at the right price". It is expected that no more than 5% of the fund will be committed to one stock and will typically remain invested across all market cycles. Currency hedging is utilized as a defensive strategy.
