Overview

Investment Approach


The Fund aims to achieve a return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund’s assets, which reflects the return of the equity market in the United States.

The Fund is passively managed and may invest in equity securities (e.g. shares) listed and traded on regulated markets in the United States as well as financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets) including exchange traded S&P 500 futures contracts. A futures contract is a contract whereby the Fund agrees to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price in the future. Cash may be held by the Fund for the purpose of providing cover for the exposure created by FDIs.

The return of the Fund will be compared with the return on an index which will initially be the S&P 500 Index (with net dividends), the Fund’s benchmark index.

Important Information: Capital at Risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

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. The fund invests a large portion of assets which are denominated in other currencies; hence changes in the relevant exchange rate will affect the value of the investment. The Fund may be exposed to finance sector companies, as a service provider or as counterparty for financial contracts. Liquidity in the financial markets has been severely restricted, causing a number of firms to withdrawn from the market, or in some extreme cases, becoming insolvent. This may have an adverse affect on the activities of the fund. The Fund uses derivatives as part of its investment strategy. Compared to a fund which only invests in traditional instruments such as stocks and bonds, derivatives are potentially subject to a higher level of risk.
