Investment objective & strategy
To provide access to capital growth and some income over the long term (at least five years) from investment in international shares.

The Fund invests mainly in shares or other corporate securities of companies listed on international share markets. The Fund's portfolio will be diversified across the world's major share markets – in North America, Europe, Japan and Asia. Share selection decisions are subcontracted to an overseas investment manager. The currency policy is to maintain a diversified exposure to a broad range of currencies and to undertake no currency hedging against exchange rate movements.
