Overview

Investment Approach


The Fund aims to provide a return on your investment through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund’s assets.

The Fund invests at least 70% of its total assets, directly and indirectly through permitted investments, in the equity securities (i.e. shares) and fixed income securities (e.g. bonds) of issuers and companies domiciled in, or exercising the predominant part of their economic activity in, Asia, excluding Japan.

The Fund may invest in the full range of assets in which a UCITS may invest with a bias towards income-generating assets, including equity securities, fixed income securities, funds, financial derivative instruments (FDI), cash, deposits and money market instruments (i.e. debt securities with short term maturities) of issuers and companies domiciled in, or exercising the predominant part of their economic activity in, Asia, excluding Japan.

Important Information: Capital at Risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

The value of your investment and the income from it will vary and your initial investment amount is not guaranteed. Overseas investments will be affected by movements in currency exchange rates.

All currency hedged share classes of this fund use derivatives to hedge currency risk. The use of derivatives for a share class could pose a potential risk of contagion (also known as spill-over) to other share classes in the fund. The fund’s management company will ensure appropriate procedures are in place to minimise contagion risk to other share class. Using the drop down box directly below the name of the fund, you can view a list of all share classes in the fund – currency hedged share classes are indicated by the word “Hedged” in the name of the share class. In addition, a full list of all currency hedged share classes is available on request from the fund’s management company

To the extent the Fund undertakes securities lending to reduce costs, the Fund will receive 62.5% of the associated revenue generated and the remaining 37.5% will be received by BlackRock as the securities lending agent. As securities lending revenue sharing does not increase the costs of running the Fund, this has been excluded from the ongoing charges.
