Overview

Investment Approach

The Fund aims to achieve positive absolute returns through a combination of capital growth and income on your investment regardless of market movements. The Fund invests globally in the full range of assets in which a UCITS fund may invest. These include: equity securities (e.g. shares) and equity-related (E-R) securities, fixed income (FI) securities (e.g. bonds) and FI-related securities, money market instruments (MMIs) (i.e. debt securities with short term maturities), other funds, deposits and cash. E-R securities and FI-related securities include financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets). The FI securities and MMIs may be issued by governments, government agencies, companies and supranationals (e.g. the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development) and may have a low credit rating or be unrated. The Fund may invest up to 50% of its net asset value in asset backed and mortgage backed securities (i.e. financial securities backed by cash flows from debt). The Fund may invest up to 50% of its net asset value in emerging markets. The asset classes and the extent to which the Fund is invested in these may vary without limit depending on market conditions and other factors at the IA’s discretion and exposures to certain markets, sectors or asset classes may be concentrated from time to time. The Fund will use fundamental research and analysis of global macroeconomic trends (including global economic growth projections, fiscal and monetary policy and market risks) to assess opportunities and evaluate pricing across markets, in order to invest in a diverse portfolio of directional and relative value positions in markets.

Important Information: Capital at Risk. All financial investments involve an element of risk. Therefore, the value of your investment and the income from it will vary and your initial investment amount cannot be guaranteed.

All currency hedged share classes of this fund use derivatives to hedge currency risk. The use of derivatives for a share class could pose a potential risk of contagion (also known as spill-over) to other share classes in the fund. The fund’s management company will ensure appropriate procedures are in place to minimise contagion risk to other share class. Using the drop down box directly below the name of the fund, you can view a list of all share classes in the fund – currency hedged share classes are indicated by the word “Hedged” in the name of the share class. In addition, a full list of all currency hedged share classes is available on request from the fund’s management company
