Fund Objective:
The objective of the Fund is to achieve a return (income and capital) in excess of the UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) plus 3%, net of fees, over a long term period (5 years).
There is no guarantee that the above return will be achieved over that, or any, time period. Investors should note that, notwithstanding the objective, capital is in fact at risk.
The assets in which the Fund may invest will be equities, fixed income investments (e.g. corporate and government bonds), eligible alternatives and other transferable securities, money market instruments, deposits, cash and near cash investments and derivatives. Exposure to these asset classes may be gained through direct investment or indirectly through collective investment schemes (including those managed or operated by the ACD), exchange traded funds and investment trusts. At times, during times of market volatility, the Fund may hold a significant amount in cash. The proportion of the Fund invested in different asset classes will vary over time in response to the economic and market environment. The Investment Manager selects assets that in combination will attempt to achieve the Fund’s return whilst offering a portfolio that is diversified by geography, sector and asset class.
Derivatives may be used for both investment purposes and Efficient Portfolio Management.
The Fund will be actively managed. This means that the Investment Manager actively makes decisions about how to invest the Scheme Property of the Fund (and which investments to buy and sell) instead of simply following a market index.
The performance of the Fund will be measured against the UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) plus 3% for target return purposes only. This index was chosen as a target for the Fund’s return because the Fund aims to grow investments above the rate of UK inflation.
