The Fund's objective is to provide long-term growth of
capital by investing in equity securities of issuers with high growth potential
operating in the agriculture and food industires.
In order to feed the rising global population while also
lowering carbon emissions, the food & agriculture industry will need to
reinvent itself and focus on key sustainable technologies that support
efficient use of land & resources, reduce food loss & waste and
contribute to better nutrition. Companies that develop business models to
address these goals will share in a multi-trillion dollar investment
opportunity.
With most investors planning to increase allocations to
food & agriculture, we see great potential in emerging technologies such as
precision agriculture, agri-food testing, vertical farming and alternative
proteins. Continued development in these areas should help to improve crop
& livestock yields, reduce water & energy usage and encourage a
healthier diet.
The Fund is authorized to issue series of shares designated
as Series A and Series F class. |
