The Fund aims to maximise long term total return to investors by investing predominantly in a wide range of European equities of companies in special situations.
The Fund seeks to maximise total return to investors through investment in a range of equities of European companies in special situations where the Investment Manager believes internal company change or external market change will positively affect the value of the company, or where the companies are undervalued due to pricing anomalies. The Fund will invest across a wide range of geographies, sectors and market capitalisations. The Fund may also invest in other assets including other transferable securities, collective investment schemes, money market instruments, cash and near cash, deposits and derivative instruments. Derivative instruments may be used in support of achieving the Fund's investment objective.
