Optimised Multi-Asset Solution

The fund provides exposure to characteristics of bonds and equities and aims to optimise these allocations with the use of derivatives. In so doing, the fund can provide a lower risk of capital loss than an equivalent investment in bonds and equities, and provide a more predictable journey for investors.

What does the Fund invest in?

The Fund combines exposure to traditional assets with modern investment techniques to build a robust and diverse portfolio, aiming to achieve its objective across a wide range of market conditions.

Equity - 60%

The Fund's equity exposure is the engine room of the portfolio, aiming to drive predictable returns from derivative-based investments linked to the performance of global equity indices.

Fixed Income - 40%

Combines systematic dynamic fixed income with inflation, offering a solution for fixed income that provides diversification to equity across multiple inflationary environments. Using derivatives allows access to inflation without the duration, providing further diversification potential to traditional fixed income exposure.

Alternatives

Overlaying the equity sleeve, crash protection provides diversification to equity during periods of severe market stress. This could be thought of as an airbag in a car, you shouldn't see or feel the protection unless there is a crash.

Key fund risks

This is not a comprehensive list of every risk factor. You can view the full list in the Risk Warning section of the Prospectus, Supplement and Key Investor Information Document above.

The Fund’s returns will not keep pace with strong rises in equity markets.
The value of investments and any income from them can go down in value, and you could get back less than invested.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its objective.
The Fund invests in derivatives. Derivatives are highly sensitive to changes in the value of the asset from which their value is derived. A small movement in the value of the underlying asset can cause a large movement in the value of the derivative. This can increase the sizes of losses and gains, causing the value of a derivative investment to fluctuate and the Fund could lose more than the amount invested.
The Fund invests in high quality government and corporate bonds. All bonds will be rated at least A- by Standard and Poors at outset. If any of the bonds the Fund owns suffer credit events the performance of the Fund could be adversely affected.
The Fund may invest in securities and markets which experience specific risks due to increased volatility, liquidity, political and economic stability.
Other risks the Fund is exposed to include but are not limited to, credit, custodial and counterparty risk, possible changes in exchange rates, interest rates and inflation, changing expectations of future market volatility, changing expectations of equity market correlation and changing dividend expectations.
