| Previous objective | To achieve long-term capital growth through investment in global equity markets with a focus on Thematic Investing, aiming to outperform (net of fees) the Target Benchmark, the MSCI AC World (ACWI) Total Return Net (in GBP) over a rolling 5 year period. The ACD will utilise a Thematic Investing approach to achieve its investment objective. The investible themes will typically be derived from long-term structural shifts; these megatrends could for example include urbanisation, technological innovation, resource scarcity and demographic & social change. The ACD will invest at least 70% of the fund’s assets in equities and securities equivalent to equities (e.g. American Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts) worldwide. In addition, index certificates and other certificates on equities, adequately diversified equity baskets, participation certificates and warrants may also be acquired. Their value together with the value of the assets defined in the first sentence of this paragraph must be at least 85% of the fund’s assets. |
