The Sub-fund’s investment objective is long term total return to be achieved by investing at least 70% of the Sub-fund’s assets in small capitalisation equities and equity related securities of companies listed, incorporated or domiciled in Europe or companies that derive a significant proportion of their revenues or profits from European operations or have a significant proportion of their assets there. Small capitalisation companies are defined as any stock included in the FTSE Developed Europe Small Cap Index (EUR) or, if not included within the index, any stock having a market capitalisation smaller than that of the stock with the largest market capitalisation in such index. The Sub-fund is actively managed. The Sub-fund aims to outperform the FTSE Developed Europe Small Cap Index (EUR) benchmark before charges. The benchmark is also used as a reference point for portfolio construction and as a basis for setting risk constraints, but does not incorporate any sustainable criteria.
