Objective
To provide capital appreciation over the medium to longer term. The Fund invests primarily in equity and equity-type securities of multinational companies throughout the world. It may also invest in companies that the portfolio sub-advisors expect will achieve multinational status. Income will not be a prime consideration for securityholders in the Fund. The fundamental investment objective of the Fund cannot be changed without the approval of investors who own securities in the Fund.
