1. Investment will be composed primarily of securities publicly traded
represented in the EMI as well as the stock exchanges of Mexico, Thailand,
Indonesia, Philippines, Taiwan, and South Korea, as well as options and
futures contracts related to those securities and convertible bonds of
small capitalization companies. No options, futures, or other derivatives
will add any leverage to the portfolio. Investment may also be made in cash
or in the equivalents of cash or in any commingled money market account
maintained by Prudential.
2. Investments will be targeted primarily (i.e. a minimum of 70% of the
invested portion of the portfolio) in securities of companies which meet
Global Small Cap Equities definition of small capitalization companies.
Throughout the world, Global Small Cap Equities uses the largest market cap
of the stocks in lowest 20% of the market capitalization, within the U. S.
markets as its upper capitalization limit (currently $1.5 billion), except
in Japan where Global Small Cap Equities applies the 20% test separately
due to currency fluctuations. (In Japan, the upper limit is currently $1.5
billion). The majority of investments to be in the stocks with market
capitalization less than $750 million. Stocks which are included in the
portfolio not meeting the cap size definition should normally be ones which
are constituents of the EMI, except for Southeast Asia where larger traded
stocks may be used.
3. No more than 7% of any regional sub-portfolio will be invested in any one
company at the time of purchase; no more than 3% of the total global
portfolio will be so invested.
4. The portfolio will not purchase more than 10% of the issued capital of any
one company. The regional portfolios are generally kept diversified in 30
to 60 names. Industry weights are determined on a bottom up basis but
monitored at the portfolio level and may cut back to limit potential sector
risk.
5. Investments in cash and related instruments will not exceed 17% of the
portfolio, except during initial building.
6. Currency hedging will be allowed, although it is not anticipated that
Global Small Cap Equity will employ an active currency overlay program. Any
currency hedging must be covered by an underlying cash/stock position.
7. Within the global portfolio, none of the four regions (Japan, Southeast
Asia, Europe, or North America) will be weighted at time of purchase (or
allocation shift) by more than 12% of the benchmark weight or less than 12%
of the benchmark weight. This 12% guideline will also apply to country
weights within each regional sub-portfolio.
GENERAL
SUBJECT TO THE INVESTMENT GUIDELINES FOR THE CLIENT ACCOUNTS DESCRIBED HEREIN OR
AS SUBSEQUENTLY NOTIFIED TO SUB-INVESTMENT MANAGER IN WRITING:
1. The Client Accounts may contain securities which are or were the subject of
a relevant offer or issue, whether at the time Sub-Investment Manager
acquires them on behalf of Investment Manager, within a period of 12 months
preceding that or otherwise. For the purpose of this paragraph, a "relevant
offer or issue" is an offer or issue of any securities (whether or not
those securities are to be listed on the London Stock Exchange or any other
recognized or designated investment exchange) which is or was sponsored,
underwritten, managed or arranged, or in connection with which other
services were provided, by Sub-Investment Manager or a connected person.
2. Sub-Investment Manager may not commit Investment Manager to any obligation
to underwrite any issue or offer for sale of securities.
3. Sub-Investment Manager may, on behalf of Investment Manager, acquire or
dispose of units in a regulated collective investment scheme, whether or
not operated, managed or advised by Sub-Investment Manager or a connected
person.
4. Sub-Investment Manager may enter into repo or reverse repo transactions but
may not otherwise lend or borrow securities for any purpose.
5. Sub-Investment Manager is authorized by Investment Manager to deal in
warrants, options (including traded options) futures or contracts for
differences on behalf of Investment Manager (provided they are investments
as defined herein). The limits on margins will vary as between the Client
Accounts as set out in Schedule B above and the Prospectuses and Statements
of Additional Information mentioned therein.
6. Where the requisite currency of settlement is not the Client Accounts
Currency Sub-Investment Manager shall be entitled to use spot or forward
foreign exchange contracts (and accordingly enter into them on Investment
Manager's behalf) to fund the acquisition of spot or forward investments or
dispose of sale proceeds in a foreign currency. Notwithstanding
Sub-Investment Manager's right to do this, Investment Manager accepts that
if a liability in one currency is matched by an asset in a different
currency, or if any investment acquired or sold hereunder is denominated or
paid for in a currency other than the Client Accounts Currency, a movement
of exchange rates may be unfavourable rather than favourable, on the gain
or loss otherwise experienced on the investment.
