About

Investment Objective
The Fund's objective is to provide stable capital growth with an appropriate level of income, while minimising the possibility of capital loss over the short term through active management. The Fund aims to preserve capital while exhibiting low levels of return volatility. The Fund aims to achieve returns in excess of inflation over 3 years and longer. This Fund complies with Regulation 28 of the Pension Funds Act. The Fund may invest in derivatives for the exclusive purpose of hedging exchange rate risk to which assets are directly exposed.
Characteristics
This is a multi-asset low equity portfolio which means that the portfolio may have a maximum equity exposure of up to 40% at all times. This portfolio may, at the discretion of the portfolio manager, invest up to 45% in securities that are listed recognised exchanges. A fund of funds is a portfolio that invests in portfolios of collective investment schemes, which levy their own charges, which could result in a higher fee structure for the fund of funds.
Risk Reward Profile
Typically, the lower the risk, the lower the potential return and the higher the risk, the higher the potential return. There is no guarantee that returns will be higher when investing in a portfolio with a higher risk profile. The risk profile for this portfolio is rated as low, as it may only invest up to 40% in equity securities, both locally and abroad.
