Removed from Wealth 150 when list refocused. We're happy but other funds in the list offer something similar.

HL group comment: INVESCO PERPETUAL
Our view on this Fund Management Group as a whole
The company was formed by the merger of Invesco and Perpetual in December 2000 following the acquisition of the two companies by Amvescap. In the UK alone the group manages over 40 funds, and with £29.2 billion worth of funds under management this makes them one of the largest unit trust companies in the UK. The group trades as Amvescap outside the UK and has a web of world-wide offices in over 30 countries which few investment groups can match. This is a group that has excelled in managing UK equities and we expect the performance to continue.

HL sector comment: Asia Pacific Ex Japan
Our view on this sector
China and India have performed poorly this year despite still boasting strong positive GDP growth. The big concern for China especially is that as the economies of the Western world slow, there will be less demand for goods made in these countries. Over the longer term, however, we continue to believe that these and the wider emerging and Asian markets have good prospects for capital growth.
