How we invest your money

The Fund invests in the Underlying Fund.

The Underlying Fund can invest in shares in a range of emerging markets and may also hold cash.

JOHCM's investment process for global emerging market shares aims to add value through a combination of country allocation as well as individual stock selection. JOHCM's country allocation process is based on analysis of a country's economic growth, monetary policy, market liquidity, currency, governance/politics and equity market valuation. The stock selection process focuses on buying quality growth stocks at attractive valuations.

The Underlying Fund has assets that are denominated in foreign currencies. This means that changes to the Australian dollar relative to foreign currencies may affect the value of the assets of the Underlying Fund. The Underlying Fund's foreign currency exposure will generally not be hedged to the Australian dollar but JOHCM may do so from time to time. JOHCM does not intend to use currency trading as an additional source of returns for the Underlying Fund.

Derivatives may be used to reduce risk and can act as a hedge against adverse movements in a particular market and/or in the underlying assets. Derivatives can also be used to gain exposure to assets and markets.

The asset allocation of the Underlying Fund is:

• International shares: 80-100%

• Cash: 0-20%
