The Global Semiconductor Opportunities Fund aims to achieve capital appreciation by investing at least 70% of its net assets in equity and equity related securities of companies in the semiconductor and semiconductor-related industries, listed globally (including in emerging markets from time to time), including, but not limited to, common stocks and depositary receipts.
The business of these companies will include, but are not limited to, development and production of semiconductors and related equipment and components, as well as the direct downstream beneficiaries of advancements within the semiconductor industry. While the Sub-Fund will invest in accordance with its investment objective and strategy, subject to applicable laws and regulations, the Sub-Fund is not otherwise subject to any limitation on the portion of its net assets that may be invested in any one country. Hence, the Sub-Fund may invest more than 30% of its net assets in issuers located in the United States. The remaining assets of the Sub-Fund may be invested in equity and equity related securities of companies in other industries listed globally, if the Investment Manager considers that investing in such companies will achieve the goal of maximising capital appreciation, and/or in cash and cash equivalents. The securities of small and medium-sized companies may represent, at times, more than 30% of the net assets of the Sub-Fund. The Sub-Fund may use financial derivative instruments, which are financial instruments linked to the value of underlying assets.
