Barings Australia Fund

Objective

The objective of the Fund is to achieve long-term capital growth in the value of assets. The policy of the fund is to hold a diversified portfolio of quoted or traded equity investments in companies incorporated in Australia.

Strategy

The Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 70% of its total assets at any one time in equities and equity-related securities of companies incorporated in, or exercising the predominant part of their economic activity in Australia, or quoted or traded on the stock exchanges in Australia.

Who Should Invest

The Fund is designed for investors seeking a strategy that targets long-term capital growth by investing in Australian equities.

Risks

The value of investments can fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Country specific funds have a narrower focus than those which invest broadly across markets and are therefore considered to be more risky. Changes in exchange rates between the currency of the Fund and the currencies in which the assets of the Fund are valued may also affect the value of the Fund.
