Fund objective
The Company aims to provide capital growth from a diversified portfolio of high-quality smaller companies in Continental Europe. As the emphasis is on capital growth rather than income, shareholders should expect the dividend to vary from year to year. The Company has the ability to use borrowing to gear the portfolio within the range of 20% net cash to 20% geared, in normal market conditions. Gearing may magnify gains or losses experienced by the Company.
