The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term growth through the capital appreciation of their investments.
Investment Strategy
The Capital Growth Fund invests primarily in local, regional and international equities as well as high yielding fixed income securities that are considered attractive, and which should enhance the overall return of the investment portfolio. The Fund Manager will seek to develop a diversified portfolio of equities (stocks) that will include companies with good prospects in the financial, tourism, manufacturing, distribution and services sectors.
Who Should Invest in the Fund?
Investors who are not adverse to the risks associated with Equity based Mutual Funds.
Investors who are patient and seeking a medium to long-term investment option.
Investors who do not require an inflow of income
Investors seeking to protect the purchasing power of their investment from rising inflation by obtaining potentially higher returns than traditional savings products.
Investors interested in buying equity securities (stocks) but who have neither the time nor the expertise to monitor the performance of stock in the different markets.
