Fund objective
The Company aims to achieve capital growth from North American investments by outperformance of the Company's benchmark, the S&P500 Index, with net dividends reinvested, expressed in sterling terms. The Company emphasises capital growth rather than income and when appropriate may have exposure to smaller capitalisation companies. The Company's gearing policy is to operate within a range of 5% net cash to 20% geared in normal market conditions. Gearing may magnify gains or losses experienced by the Company.
