Defensive Capital Fund (DCF)

Our SVS Defensive Capital Fund (DCF) is a unique, actively managed alternative multi-asset fund with a strong long-term track record. It aims to deliver lower volatility returns with the potential for equity growth, suitable for low-risk profile investors.

Why DCF?

The DCF supports you by providing your clients with a defensive investment solution that prioritises capital preservation while looking for growth opportunities. It achieves this by investing in a diverse portfolio of alternative assets, such as convertibles, structured notes and discounted investment Companies that do not require market growth to provide a positive capital return.

Alternative multi-asset approach

 Invests across a broad spectrum of asset classes, including undervalued and unloved assets, to optimise diversification and reduce volatility.

Value bias

Focuses on identifying and investing in assets trading at a discount to their intrinsic value, with the potential for capital appreciation and attractive risk-adjusted returns.

Dynamic management

Employs a top-down macro analysis combined with bottom-up stock selection, actively monitoring assets and trading against passives to adapt to changing market conditions.
