BSF Emerging Mkts Equity Strategies D2 Cap EUR Hdg

The Fund aims to maximise the return on your investment through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund's assets. The Fund seeks to gain at least 70% of its investment exposure to companies domiciled in, or exercising the main part of their business in, emerging markets. This is achieved by investing at least 70% of its total assets in equity securities (e.g. shares) and equity-related (E-R) securities and when determined appropriate, fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds), money market instruments (MMIs) (i.e. debt securities with short-term maturities), deposits and cash. The E-R securities include financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets). FDIs may be used to help achieve the Fund's investment objective and the Fund may, via FDIs, generate market leverage (i.e. where the Fund gains market exposure in excess of the value of its assets). A significant portion of the Fund's assets may be invested in total return swaps and contracts for difference that aim to achieve a specified return based on underlying assets such as equity and FI securities. The FI securities and MMIs may be issued by governments, government agencies, companies and supranationals (e.g. the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development) and may be investment grade (i.e. meet a specified level of credit worthiness), non-investment grade or unrated at the time of purchase. The Fund is actively managed and the IA has discretion to select investments and will refer to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the "Index") when constructing the portfolio, and also for performance comparison and risk management purposes, as further described in the prospectus. The IA is not bound by the components or weighting of the Index and may also use its discretion to invest in securities not included in the Index.
