The Sub-Fund is actively managed in reference to a benchmark. The Topix TR (the "Benchmark") is used to define the initial investment universe for individual security selection, for performance comparison as well as for internal risk monitoring purposes, without implying any particular constraints to the Sub-Fund's investments. The Sub-Fund’s securities will generally be similar to those of the Benchmark but the security weightings are expected to differ materially. The Investment Manager may also select securities not included in the Benchmark in order to take advantage of investment opportunities. The Sub-Fund invests, at least two-thirds (2/3rds) of its assets, in equity securities issued by companies incorporated or exercising a prominent part of their business activity in Japan. The Sub-Fund will be managed with a high degree of flexibility and discretion will be used with selection of sectors, style and market capitalisation.
