The Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of US small capitalisation companies that seek to adhere to the Portfolio’s environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) criteria. The Portfolio will, under normal market conditions, invest at least two thirds of its net assets in equity and/or equity related Transferable Securities and Permitted Funds which provide exposure to companies that are domiciled in, or which derive the predominant proportion of their revenues or profits from the US and with a market capitalisation no greater than that of the largest company in the Russell 2500 Index (USD) at the time of investment.
