The Fund’s investment objective is to increase the value of your investment over the long term, mainly through growth of capital. The fund invests at least 70% of total net assets in equities of small capitalisation companies in Japan. Specifically, these investments are in companies located, or that do most of their business, in Japan. Small cap companies are determined by the benchmark. The fund may invest up to 30% of total net assets in equities not meeting the criteria of the fund's primary investments, and other types of securities, such as preference shares and convertible bonds.
