Objectives and Strategy
Fund Objective Aims to provide capital growth over the long-term through searching out undervalued listed and unlisted investments in Japanese and Korean companies. Minimum suggested time horizon is 5 or more years.
Fund Strategy Invests primarily in companies listed in Japan and Korea. Those companies may list on stock exchanges other than Japan or Korea, and the Fund may invest in them. Fund is likely to consist of 30-60 stocks the Manager believes undervalued by the market. When undervalued stocks cannot be found, funds may be invested in cash. The proportion of Korean securities will be limited to a maximum of 25% of the value of the Fund, at the time of investment. The Manager may short-sell shares that it considers over-valued.
