The investment objective of the Fund is to outperform the MSCI Emerging Markets Total Return (Net) Index (USD) over three to five year cycles. The Developing Countries Fund aims to achieve its investment objective by investing at least seventy five percent (75%) of its net assets in equities of companies operating in developing countries. The Developing Countries Fund may use financial derivative instruments or structured products (e.g. certificates) qualifying as transferable securities for the purpose of obtaining exposure to certain companies in markets where direct investments in securities of these companies cannot be made or where a direct investment would be on terms substantially less favourable for the Developing Countries Fund (e.g., China or India). The Sub-Fund may invest up to 50% of its net assets in China A Shares via Stock Connect but it may represent up to 100% under exceptional market circumstances and where financial market conditions so require.
