Edinburgh Worldwide Investment Trust Plc (EWI)

The Company's investment objective is the achievement of long term capital growth by investing primarily in listed companies throughout the world. While the policy is global investment, the approach adopted is to construct a portfolio through the identification of individual companies which offer long term growth potential, normally over at least a five year horizon and which at the point of initial investment have a market capitalisation no greater than the market capitalisation of the largest constituent of the Company’s comparative index(S&P Global Small Cap Index total return (in sterling terms)) measured by market capitalisation.
