What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.

Strategy, summarised

The fund seeks long-term growth of capital and is non-diversified, meaning it may concentrate a higher percentage of assets in individual issuers than a diversified fund would. Because the fund's holdings are concentrated in fewer issuers, changes in the value of a single investment could produce greater fluctuations in share price.

Volatility over the last 12 months: 18.81%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.

Jun 2026 and Jul 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
