| Previous objective | To generate long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 70% in US Companies that the Investment Manager believes are experiencing, or have potential to experience, growth of earnings and/or cash flow that exceed the average earnings and/or cash flow growth rate of companies in the S&P 500 Index. The fund may invest a maximum of 20% in non-US issuers and in companies of any size. • Companies invested in generally may be expected to benefit from new technologies, techniques, products or services or cost-reducing measures, and may be affected to changes in management, capitalisation or asset deployment, government regulations or other external circumstances. • The Investment Manager focuses its stock selection for the fund on the diversified group of emerging growth companies that may have passed their “start-up” phase and show positive earnings and the prospect of achieving significant profit gains in the two to three years after the fund acquires their stocks. • The fund may be leveraged as a result of investment in derivatives. However, in accordance with the UCITS Regulations, the fund will not be leveraged in excess of 100% of its Net Asset Value (as calculated using the commitment approach). |

It is not expected that the fund will concentrate in any particular industry or geographical area. • The fund may be leveraged as a result of investment in derivatives. The fund may be leveraged to up to 50% of its Net Asset Value (as calculated using the commitment approach) as a result of its use of derivatives. |
