Investment strategies

Cautious Balanced Strategy

Cautious Balanced Strategy

Description
Seek to provide long-term capital growth through investment in a well-diversified portfolio of funds investing across the capital markets with a low level of volatility over the medium to long term. This Fund operates a cautious investment strategy where equity exposure is limited and likely to range from 30% - 55%. A typical investor is likely to have a risk profile where capital preservation is of primary importance and so a lower level of investment return is acceptable if it avoids the risk of excessive fluctuations in capital value and where there is limited ability to bear a material financial loss which might have a negative impact on fund values over the longer-term. It may be suitable for investors whose requirements align to the objectives and policies of the Fund, who have sterling as their reference currency and are willing to invest for a minimum of five years, preferably ten years.

Risk Level
Low to medium risk: For the investor who is only willing to take modest risk, where there may be some fluctuation in capital value and or income returns.

Minimum Investment
£5,000 or currency equivalent – B Shareclass

£100,000 or currency equivalent – A Shareclass

Annual Management Charge
1% – B Shareclass

Currencies

The value of your investments and the income from them may go down as well as up and neither is guaranteed. Investors could get back less than they invested. Changes in rates of exchange may cause the value of an investment to go up or down. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Balanced Strategy

Balanced Strategy

Description
Seek to provide long-term capital growth through investment in a balanced portfolio of funds investing across the capital markets with a medium level of volatility over the longer term. This Fund operates an investment strategy which will maintain a balance between exposure to fixed interest securities, equities and alternative assets where equity exposure is likely to range from 55% - 75%. A typical investor is likely to have a risk profile where capital growth is as important as capital preservation and so sufficient risk of fluctuations in capital value must be borne over the medium term to achieve the objective. It is important to accept the risk of financial loss to achieve capital growth and this may have an impact on fund values. It may be suitable for investors whose requirements align to the objectives and policies of the Fund, who have sterling as their reference currency and are willing to invest for at least five years, preferably ten years.

Risk Level

Description

This Fund operates a strategic growth investment strategy where equity exposure is likely to range from 75% - 95%. A typical investor is likely to have a risk profile where investment returns are more important than capital preservation and so the Fund’s portfolio will be exposed to material fluctuations in capital value which may have an impact on fund values in the short-term. It may be suitable for investors whose requirements align to the objectives and policies of the Fund, who have sterling as their reference currency and are willing to invest for at least five years, preferably ten years.

Description

This Fund operates a high growth investment strategy where equity exposure is likely to exceed 90%. A typical investor is likely to have a risk profile where investment returns are more important than capital preservation and so have an ability to sustain significant fluctuations in capital value which may have an impact on fund values over the medium term.
