To seek to achieve long-term capital growth through investment in both
open-ended funds and closed-ended investment companies specialising in
emerging markets and specialist sectors such as smaller companies, OTC
stocks and warrants funds. Investment will be made in funds which are
managed by groups perceived by AIM to have exhibited above-average expertise
in particular markets.
An important feature is that the Fund combines investment in both
closed-ended and open-ended investment vehicles, and is thereby able to take
advantage of the benefits offered by both types of scheme; access to new
markets is often only available by investment in closed-ended investment
companies because factors such as low market capitalisation, restrictions on
foreign ownership and settlement delays would render the management of an
open-ended fund investing in such markets impractical. A long-term view
should be taken of such investments. In order to provide liquidity and some
protection for the Fund's assets against diminution by reason of the
discount at which traded prices of closed-ended investment companies
frequently stand to net asset value, the Fund will not invest more than 50
per cent in shares of such investment companies. The Fund may also invest
up to 10 per cent in options and warrants, (including through investment in
managed funds which invest primarily in warrants).
The Fund is an Authorised
Fund in Hong Kong. The authorisation by the Securities & Futures
Commission does not imply that it is recommended by the SFC.
Past performance is not
necessarily an indicator of future performance. Furthermore, the price
of shares and units and the income from them may go down as well as
up and is not guaranteed.
