The Sub-Fund is actively managed in reference to a benchmark. The MSCI USA Small Cap Index is used for performance comparison and for internal risk monitoring purposes only, without implying any particular constraints to the Sub-Fund's investments. The Sub-Fund’s securities will generally be similar to those of the Benchmark but the security weightings are expected to differ materially. The Investment Manager may also select securities not included in the Benchmark in order to take advantage of investment opportunities. The Sub-Fund’s objective is to seek long term capital appreciation and to outperform the Benchmark by primarily investing in equity securities. Under normal market conditions, the Sub-Fund invests 80% of its net assets in small and mid-capitalization companies having their registered office or carrying out their primary economic activity in the United States of America. Up to 20% of its net assets may be invested in other equity securities outside these parameters.
