The Sub-Fund is dedicated to achieving capital growth by primarily investing in a range of equity securities. These include common stocks, which constitute a significant portion of its net assets, alongside convertible bonds and warrants on transferable securities. The focus of these investments is on Regulated Markets within developing nations across various regions such as the Pacific Basin, Latin America, Emerging Europe, and Africa. The strategy emphasizes a deep commitment to these economies, aiming to capitalize on their growth potential.
The Sub-Fund invests mainly in equity securities, particularly common stocks, which are expected to represent at least 66% of its net assets. These investments are directed toward companies listed on Regulated Markets in developing countries. The objective here is to benefit from the potential capital appreciation associated with these markets, focusing on sectors and companies poised for growth.
Aside from equity securities, the Sub-Fund diversifies its portfolio by investing in convertible bonds and warrants on transferable securities. These instruments provide an additional avenue for potential growth, offering the Sub-Fund the flexibility to convert bonds into a predetermined number of shares, usually at the discretion of the bondholder, and to purchase stocks at a specified price before expiration.
A core strategy of the Sub-Fund is its focused investment in securities issued by companies located in, or primarily operating within, developing countries across the Pacific Basin, Latin America, Emerging Europe, and Africa. This not only includes direct investments but also indirect investments through other investment funds. A minimum of 90% of the Sub-Fund’s net assets will be allocated towards securities in these regions, underlining a strong commitment to tapping into the dynamism and potential high growth rates of developing markets.
