| Previous asset objective | The Company aims to achieve long-term capital growth through investment in small and medium-sized Japanese companies. Investment is permitted in Japanese quoted companies other than the largest 200 measured by market capitalisation, Japanese domiciled unquoted companies, Japanese domiciled companies quoted on a non-Japanese stock exchange and non-Japanese domiciled companies which have at least 75% of their revenues derived from Japan. Investment is also permitted in UK and Japanese government bonds. |
| New asset objective | The Company seeks capital growth from a portfolio of investments in Japanese companies. As the emphasis is on capital growth rather than income, shareholders should expect the dividend to vary from year to year. |
