The investment objective of this Fund is to provide investors with a total return, taking into account both capital and income returns, which reflects the return of the Dow Jones Asia/Pacific Select Dividend 50 Index. In order to achieve this investment objective, the investment policy of the Fund is to invest in a portfolio of equity securities that as far as possible and practicable consist of the component securities of the Dow Jones Asia/Pacific Select Dividend 50 Index, this Fund’s Benchmark Index. The Fund intends to replicate the constituents of the Benchmark Index by holding all the securities comprising the Benchmark Index in a similar proportion to their weightings in the Benchmark Index.
