Overview
Investor Profile
Ideal for institutional investors seeking investments in small cap Japanese equities who can afford to invest their capital over the long term.
|
Capital at risk. All investments involve risk and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Investment risk is concentrated in specific sectors, countries, currencies or companies. This means the Fund is more sensitive to any localised economic, market, political, sustainability-related or regulatory events. The value of securities can be affected by daily stock market movements, political factors, economic news, company earnings and significant corporate events. |
