The Sub-Fund aims to generate medium to longer-term capital growth by means of a portfolio of international equity investments in the commodities sector. The investment policy of the Sub-Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities issued by Global Resources companies. The Sub-Fund will seek to invest at least two thirds of its assets, in equities, initial public offerings and equitylinked securities, such as preferred and common stock, debentures and depository receipts, of companies which primarily generate their income from commodities exploration, development, production or distribution (in this connection, the term "commodities" covers areas such as energy (in particular oil and gas, but also alternative energy), precious metals, non-precious metals, forestry products (timber, pulp and paper), or other areas of natural resources).
