In some cases the ongoing savings are provided by our loyalty bonus. Loyalty bonuses are tax-free in an ISA or SIPP. However, they may be subject to tax in a Fund & Share Account which would, in effect, reduce their value and increase the net ongoing charge.

The Fund aims to achieve a positive absolute return through a combination of capital growth and income on your investment regardless of market conditions. The Fund seeks to gain at least 70% of any investment exposure to equity securities (e.g. shares) of companies incorporated or listed in the Asia Pacific region,including Australia and Japan. This is achieved by investing at least 70% of its assets in equity securities, other equity-related securities and, when determinedappropriate fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds), money market instruments (MMIs) (i.e. debt securities with short-term maturities), deposits and cash. The equity-related securities include financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets). At any one time, a substantial amount, or even all of the Fund’s assets may be held as cash to provide cover for the exposure created by the use of FDIs or to assist in achieving its investment objective. The FI securities and MMIs may be issued by governments, government agencies, companies and supranationals (e.g. the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development) and may be investment grade (i.e. meet a specified level of credit worthiness), non-investment grade or unrated at the time of purchase. The Fund gains exposure to a wide range of equity securities in the Asia Pacific region, including Australia and Japan. However, the Fund intends to pursue a market-neutral strategy (i.e. the intention is not to take a view as to the direction the market will move when selecting assets). The investment adviser (IA) will use FDIs (including to achieve synthetic short positions where the Fund uses an FDI to benefit from the sale of an asset it does not physically own with the aim of buying it later at a lower price to secure a profit). The main type of FDI used by the Fund is contracts for difference which aim to achieve a specified return based on underlying assets such as equity securities. The IA intends to generate market leverage via FDIs (i.e. where the Fund gains market exposure in excess of the value of its assets). The amount of leverage may vary. The Fund is actively managed and the IA has discretion to select the Fund's investments and is not constrained by any benchmark in this process. The LIBOR 3 Month Index should be used by shareholders to compare the performance of the Fund. Recommendation: This Fund may not be appropriate for short-term investment. Your shares will be non-distributing (i.e. dividend income will be included in their value).
