Fund Objective

The aim of the Fund is to achieve a positive absolute return on a three year basis regardless of market conditions. In addition, the Fund also seeks to manage risk through active asset allocation with a view to achieving lower risk than investing in worldwide equities alone. The Fund will be managed with the aim of delivering absolute (more than zero) returns on a three year basis in any market conditions. However, an absolute return is not guaranteed over a three year or any period and the Fund may experience periods of negative return. The Fund’s capital is at risk.
