The fund aims to achieve income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in investment grade fixed income securities of issuers that have their principal business activities in the Asian region. This region includes certain countries considered to be emerging markets. The fund is actively managed. The Investment Manager will, when selecting investments for the fund and for the purposes of monitoring risk, reference ICE BofA Asia Dollar Investment Grade Index (the “Index”) as the Index constituents best represent the characteristics the fund is seeking to gain exposure to. The fund’s performance can be assessed against its Index. The Investment Manager has a wide range of discretion relative to the Index.
