Potential for higher returns
Small-cap companies are generally less affected by spontaneous market events such as the global trade conditions given their businesses are more domestically driven than large caps. Small caps also tend to outperform large caps when the Fed cuts rates
Small-cap stocks outperform large-cap stocks in a full cycle
From late 2007 to 2020, small-cap stocks had an average annual return of about 7.7% while the large cap index had around 4.7%. When the economy begins to emerge from recession and starts growing again, small-cap stocks can respond to the positive environment quicker and potentially grow faster than large caps.
Valuation gap between small-cap and large-cap stocks widens
The performance of global large-cap stocks continued to lead small caps in 2019, especially in the U.S. This gap has brought small-cap valuations to their most attractive levels in years relative to large caps.

Investment Objective:
The objective of the Fund is to seek to achieve capital growth through investment in global smaller companies.
Investment Policy:
The Fund will invest at least 80% of its net asset value (“NAV”) in transferable equity and equity-related securities of a diversified range of companies throughout the globe, normally with a maximum market capitalisation on purchase of up to US$5 billion. These securities will primarily be common stocks and other securities with equity characteristics, including but not limited to preferred stocks, warrants (only held where an existing holding is subject to an issuance of warrants and, in aggregate, normally not more than 5% of the Fund's NAV) and rights (which are issued by a company to allow holders to subscribe for additional securities issued by that company), as well as depository receipts (such as American Depository Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depository Receipts (GDRs)). The securities acquired by the Fund (other than permitted unlisted investments), will be listed/traded on securities exchanges or regulated markets listed in Appendix A to Summary Prospectus.
