Mandate

How we invest your money

The Fund seeks to deliver its objective through a dynamic asset allocation strategy involving several asset classes (including equities, fixed income securities and cash as well as commodities and property), primarily through direct investments, financial derivative instruments and investments in collective investment schemes. The Fund will also make tactical asset allocations as and when appropriate opportunities arise. The Fund will typically invest in a diversified and broad range of these asset classes. The Fund is not restricted in the asset classes it can invest in.

The Fund will generally invest by reference to macroeconomic themes, rather than by individual stock picking. The Fund will also take directional views on equity markets, equity sectors and themes, fixed income markets and on commodity and property indices, and can also express relative views (eg. on markets or indices) or may take positions on the volatility of indices.

The Investment Manager will seek to dynamically adjust the investments of the Fund according to the risk tolerances it will apply to the Fund. In so doing, it will seek to limit downside risk at the expense of some upside potential.

The Investment Manager believes that the Fund's diversified investment strategy should enable it to lower the Fund's risk profile relative to, and accordingly to have lower volatility than, traditional balanced funds.

Asset allocation

The Fund is not restricted in the proportion of the Fund that can be invested in any particular asset classes. However, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in investments which the Responsible Entity reasonably expects can be realised for their market value within 10 days.

The Fund invests on a worldwide basis and will be generally diversified across a wide range of asset classes and investment strategies. It will aim to generate attractive returns and also limit the risk of losses by actively changing the mix of asset classes in which it is invested as the Investment Manager's views on their relative risk/return characteristics change over time. These views will be informed by both macro-economic factors and shorter term tactical views on the market.
