The investment objective of the Sub-Fund is to provide a total return, taking into account both capital and income returns, which reflects the total return of the European equity market. In order to achieve this investment objective, the investment policy of the Sub-Fund is to invest in a portfolio of equity securities that so far as possible and practicable consists of the component securities of the MSCI Europe Index, the Sub-Fund's Benchmark Index. The Sub-Fund's investments will normally be listed or traded on the Regulated Markets set out in Appendix I. The Sub-Fund may also, subject to the conditions set out in Appendix III, invest in unlisted securities and in other collective investment schemes, including exchange traded funds.
