Fund Objective:

Chariguard Overseas Equity Fund is a Common Investment Fund that invests in overseas equities. Its objective is to produce returns in line with a benchmark based on the average geographical distribution of the overseas equity investments of charities investing overseas. The fund's benchmark is constructed by the WM Company based upon the FTSE World ex UK Index adjusted according to the regional composition of the WM Total Charities universe. The data is available quarterly two months after each quarter end.

Investment Universe:

• Chariguard Overseas Equity Fund’s approach is to have a highly diversified portfolio based upon the fund's benchmark, defined above, in order to avoid the risks and costs associated with traditional (active) investment management.
• The fund offers charities the advantages associated with Common Investment Funds, most notably administrative simplicity.
• The fund is, therefore, particularly suitable for those charities seeking an efficient means of obtaining broadly diversified exposure to the international equity markets.

Portfolio Construction:

• The performance benchmark of the fund is based on the overseas equity component of the WM Total Charities Universe. As a result, portfolio construction for Chariguard Overseas Equity Fund operates at two levels.
• First, the proportion of the fund held within each of the major market areas (North America, Europe ex UK, Japan and other Far East) is determined by reference to the most recently available WM Company’s Total Charities Universe.
• Secondly, within those areas the proportion held in each stock, and therefore country, reflects that for the relevant FTSE World Index.
• As a result , both the capital and income returns generated by each area of investment within Chariguard Overseas Equity Fund (i.e. before the deduction of management charges and expenses) should be in line with the capital and income returns of the FTSE World Index for that area.
