C000016839 Investment Objective and Strategy

Aberdeen Select International Equity Fund II describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Aberdeen Investment Funds.

Investment objective

The Aberdeen Select International Equity Fund II (the Select International Equity Fund II or the Fund) seeks long-term growth of capital.

Principal investment strategy

As a non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Select International Equity Fund II invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities issued by companies that are located in, or that derive a majority of their earnings or revenue from, a number of countries around the world other than the U.S. For purposes of the 80% policy, a company is considered to be outside the U.S. if Fund management determines that the company meets one or more of the following criteria: the company is organized under the laws of, or has its principal office in, a country outside the U.S.; has its principal securities trading market in a country outside the U.S.; and/or derives the majority of its annual revenue or earnings or assets from goods produced, sales made or services performed in a country outside the U.S.

Equity securities include, but are not limited to, common stock, preferred stock and depositary receipts. If the Fund changes its 80% investment policy, it will notify shareholders at least 60 days before the change and, if necessary, will change the name of the Select International Equity Fund II. Under normal circumstances, a number of countries around the world will be represented in the Funds portfolio, some of which may be considered to be emerging market countries. At times, the Fund may have a significant amount of its assets invested in a country or geographic region. The Fund may invest in securities denominated in U.S. Dollars and currencies of the foreign countries in which it is permitted to invest. The Fund typically has full currency exposure to those markets in which it invests.

The Fund generally invests in companies that the Adviser considers to be upper end of the small capitalization range and larger companies, which the Adviser currently views to be companies that have a market capitalization greater than $2.5 billion as determined at the time of purchase. The Fund may invest in securities of any market sector and may hold a significant amount of securities of companies, from time to time, within a single sector. The Adviser employs a fundamental, bottom-up equity investment process, which is based on first-hand research and disciplined company evaluation. Stocks are identified for their long-term, fundamental value. The stock selection process contains two filters, first quality and then price. In the quality filter, Adviser seeks to determine whether the company is a business that has good growth prospects and a balance sheet that supports expansion, and evaluates other business risks.

ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) analysis is fully integrated into investment decisions for all equity holdings. As such, the Adviser evaluates ESG factors as part of the investment analysis process and this forms an integral component of the Advisers quality rating for all companies. In the price filter, the Adviser assesses the value of a company by reference to financial ratios, and estimates the value of the company relative to its market price and the valuations of other potential investments. The Adviser may sell a security when it perceives that a companys business direction or growth potential has changed or the companys valuations no longer offer attractive relative value.
