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 worldwide equities. This will be effected by strategically gaining exposure to a diverse range of asset classes which will result in a comparatively lower risk than if the Fund had invested in worldwide equities alone.

The Fund invests on a global basis both directly and indirectly in equity securities (e.g. shares), fixed income securities (such as bonds), money market instruments (i.e. debt securities with short term maturities) and cash. The Fund will invest indirectly in commodities and property.

The fixed income securities and money market instruments may be issued by governments, government agencies, companies and supranationals (e.g. the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development) and may be below investment grade. The average credit rating of the fixed income securities and money market instruments will be at least BBB- from the credit rating agency Standard and Poor’s or an equivalent rating from another credit rating agency.

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 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
