Fund Description

The objective of this Sub-fund is to provide its investors with a long-term appreciation of their capital, principally by means of a focused portfolio of investments in high quality common stocks of small and medium companies of issuers of the United States of America. At least two thirds of the Sub-fund’s assets are invested at all times in equities and similar transferable securities issued by companies of medium or small stock market capitalization and having their registered office in the United States or operating predominantly in the United States. The MSCI US Small Cap Growth Net Return Index is used, in the appropriate currency of a given Share Class of the Sub-fund, for comparison only, including for performance comparison. The Fund is actively managed, and the Fund’s manager's discretionary powers are not constrained by the index.
