The objective of the investment direction is to provide investors with exposure to the equity markets of Asian countries, excluding Japan. It aims to achieve capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of stocks from companies across various sectors in the Asia region. The investment strategy typically involves active management and stock selection, aiming to identify opportunities for growth and outperformance within the specified geographic scope. 

Investors with a higher risk appetite seeking for growth opportunities in dynamic Asian markets, or investors wanting to add geographical diversification in their portfolios may find this investment direction suitable for their investment objectives. Investors should be comfortable with the risks of active management and stock selection. While these strategies may lead to higher returns, they also come with reduced diversification and a greater risk of deviating from the respective market performance.  

The present investment object of the investment direction, allocated at 100%, is the Schroder ISF Asian Opportunities C Fund (ISIN: LU0248183658), chosen as one of the leading funds in its category. The fund promotes environmental or social characteristics, without having as its objective a sustainable investment.
