The Company aims to invest primarily in UK securities with the long-term objective of achieving an increase of the Net Asset Value (NAV) per share in excess of the growth in the FTSE All-Share Index and growth in dividends per share in excess of the rate of UK inflation. The Company is actively managed within its objectives and is not constrained by a benchmark. The Company borrows money to invest in the stock market within prescribed limits with the aim of enhancing returns. The Company may use derivatives (contracts whose value is linked to the value of an underlying investment) with the aim of reducing risk, reducing costs and/or generating additional capital or income. The Net Asset Value (NAV) return of the Company corresponds directly to the performance of the securities in which it invests and the income from them. The share price, which will determine the return to the investor, will also be affected by supply and demand. Consequently, the return to the investor may be higher or lower than the underlying NAV return. https://markets.ft.com/data/investment-trust/tearsheet/holdings?s=EDIN:LSE
