This factsheet should be viewed in conjunction with the Key Investor Information
Document (KIID) as both provide important information. The KIID is accessible from
the link on the right.
Factsheets contain information about the features of the fund such as the investment
objective, fund region and past performance.
Some funds offer income units, accumulation units or both. The unit type you choose
will affect the way income generated from the fund is treated. With income units,
income is paid into your nominated account. With accumulation units income is retained
within the fund, increasing the value of your holding.
All Investments carry an element of risk. In particular, the value of Investments
and any income from them can go down as well as up and you may not get back what
you originally invested.
In addition, investing in funds is subject to specific risks. Details
of these risks are contained in the Key Investor Information Document which is
designed to provide important information about funds as well as the risks involved.
Fund Objective
To generate growth over the longer term (5 years or more) by investing in European smaller capitalisation equities (company shares). Performance Target: To achieve the return of the EMIX Smaller European Companies Index, plus 3% per annum over five years (before charges). The Performance Target is the level of performance that the management team hopes to achieve for the fund. There is however no certainty or promise that they will achieve the Performance Target. The ACD believes this is an appropriate target for the fund based on the investment policy of the fund and the constituents of the index.

Charges
The annual management charge (AMC) covers the costs involved with managing your investment, such as:
* Customer servicing
(eg, keeping a record of investors, paying income)
* Operating the fund
(eg, calculating the daily unit price, complying with investment rules)
* Investment management
(eg, research & analysis to determine which assets to buy/sell, and the fee paid to the Fund Manager)
This charge is calculated daily by the Fund Manager and as such is reflected in the fund price. However, it doesn't appear as a deduction on a statement. Generally, you can expect to see a higher AMC for funds investing in riskier assets like equities, commodities and property than funds investing in lower risk assets like corporate bonds, gilts and cash.
