The exposure will range from 80% to 100% although will normally be c.100% invested. The Fund will be relatively concentrated, typically holding c.25-50 positions with a maximum position size of 15% (at cost), while the maximum investment in any sector will typically be less than 35%. The market cap investment threshold for inclusion in the Fund is $500m.
