Aim

Income Portfolio

The objective for the Income Portfolio is to provide investors with an attractive level of income, with the potential for income and capital growth, from a diversified portfolio of Investment Companies.

The Income Portfolio holds a portfolio of Investment Companies which focus on delivering an income yield above that of the FTSE All-Share Index. The Income Portfolio will be diversified through holding at least 25 investments. Each underlying investment will provide further diversification through holding a significant number of underlying investments.

The benchmark index for the Income Portfolio will be the FTSE All-Share Index.

Growth Portfolio

The objective for the Growth Portfolio is to provide investors with capital growth from a diversified portfolio of Investment Companies.

The focus for the Portfolio is to maximise total returns, principally through capital growth. The Manager will acquire higher yielding Investment Companies if he believes such companies will offer superior total returns, although it is not expected that such Investment Companies will form a significant part of the Growth Portfolio.

The Growth Portfolio is diversified through holding at least 25 investments. Each underlying investment will provide further diversification through holding a significant number of underlying investments.

The benchmark index for the Growth Portfolio will also be the FTSE All-Share Index.
