To provide capital appreciation over the medium to longer term. The Fund invests primarily in equity and equity-type securities of multinational companies throughout the world. It may also invest in companies that the portfolio sub-advisors expect will achieve multinational status. Income will not be a prime consideration for securityholders in the Fund. The fundamental investment objective of the Fund cannot be changed without the approval of investors who own securities in the Fund.

Equity-type investments include, but are not limited to, convertible stocks, stock exchange-listed warrants, ADRs, IPUs and ETFs. The Fund will invest in securities of franchise companies.
