Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1

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.
