Investment Approach

The investment strategy of the Fund is deemed to be capacity constrained. Buying Shares in the Fund (or converting shares from another fund) is capped at a daily limit of EUR 10 million (or the equivalent thereof) per investor until further notice except at the discretion of the Directors of the Fund (you can still sell your Shares daily without limit).

The Fund aims to provide long term capital growth (including income) on your investment through the use of an extension strategy, meaning that, in addition to having up to 100% of the Fund’s assets exposed to equity securities (e.g. shares) via long positions and/or synthetic long positions, the intention is to enter into synthetic short positions, to achieve additional investment exposure as further disclosed in the prospectus.

The Fund seeks to gain at least 70% of any investment exposure to equity securities and other equity-related (E-R) securities, of companies domiciled in, or whose main business is in, Europe (including former Soviet Union countries) and, fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds), money market instruments (MMIs) (i.e. debt securities with short-term maturities), deposits and cash. The E-R securities include financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments whose prices are based on one or more underlying assets). FDIs may be used to help achieve the Fund’s investment objective and.the IA intends to generate market leverage via FDIs (i.e. where the Fund gains market exposure in excess of the value of its assets).
