The fund seeks to achieve capital appreciation by investing principally in the equity securities of large cap companies (within the market capitalisation range of companies in the S&P500 Index, as at the time of purchase) listed, domiciled or exercising a predominant part of their activity in the United States. Secondarily, the Portfolio may also invest in the equity securities of companies listed, domiciled and exercising a predominant part of their activity outside the United States. The Portfolio may also hold cash and Money Market Instruments. The Sub-Advisor aims to use a consistent, disciplined investment approach to select securities, by combining quantitative and fundamental research based on multiple sector-specific factors.
