The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with a total return, taking into account both capital and income returns, which reflects the return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. In order to achieve this investment objective, the investment policy of this Fund is to invest in a portfolio of equity securities that as far as possible and practicable consists of the component securities of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, this Fund’s Benchmark Index.
