The Fund invests at least 70% in Small & Mid sized companies, defined as any stock smaller than that of the largest stock in the MSCI ACWI SMID-Cap Index. The Fund may also invest in larger companies listed globally. The Fund may invest up to 20% in Mainland China equity and equity-related securities through the Shanghai-Hong Kong and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect programme. Investment in all equity and equity related securities will follow the abrdn "Global Small & Mid-Cap SDG Horizons Equity Investment Approach" (the "Investment Approach"). Financial derivative instruments, money-market instruments and cash may not adhere to this approach.
