Investment Objectives

The Fund aims to achieve long term capital growth.

Depending on market conditions, may vary the asset mix from the neutral mix if it believes this produces the best overall return. Generally keeps the Fund’s asset mix within the following ranges: 55%-75% equity securities, and 25%- 45% fixed income securities and money market instruments.
