The investment objective of the Sub-Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Sub-Fund intends to invest its assets principally in equity securities of large capitalisation U.S. companies or non U.S. companies whose shares trade on a U.S. exchange or that the Investment Manager determines are otherwise actively traded in the U.S., including in the form of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), American Depositary Shares (ADSs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs).Under normal market conditions, the Sub-Fund intends to invest at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities issued by companies with market capitalisations, at the time of acquisition, within the capitalisation range of the companies included in the Russell 1000® Value Index (Bloomberg ticker: RLV). The index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the large capitalisation segment of the U.S. equity universe.
