Aberdeen Global - Asian Smaller Companies Fund

The Fund's investment objective is to maximise the long-term total return to shareholders. The Fund will achieve its objective primarily through investment in a portfolio of equities and equity related securities of companies whose market capitalisation is under US$1 billion at the time of investment and which are listed on Asia Pacific exchanges (excluding Japan), or which are listed on other exchanges (including those in the United Kingdom and America) and derive a significant proportion of their revenues or profits from, or have a significant proportion of their assets in, Asia Pacific countries (excluding Japan). The Fund may invest more than 20% of its net assets in such equities and equity related securities listed on, or deriving an important proportion of their earnings from trade with or operations in, emerging Asia Pacific markets. The equity related securities in which the Fund has the ability to invest shall include the securities of Asia Pacific companies which are listed as Global Depository Receipts and American Depository Receipts, convertible bonds and warrants. Although more than 5% of the net assets of the Fund may be invested in warrants, it is not currently anticipated that the Fund will invest in warrants. All of the securities referred to above will be listed on Eligible Markets except as otherwise permitted by the investment restrictions.
