Complementary allocation to the majority of asset classes, helping improve the risk-return profile of a typical multi-asset, multi-manager or fund-of-funds portfolio.

The Fund’s philosophy and approach has historically achieved strong returns through periods of equity market weakness.

Continuity of portfolio management team since inception, benefiting from the support of a broad, well-resourced research and investment solutions team.

Risks

The Fund is primarily exposed to the price fluctuations of global currency markets. It employs leverage in order to pursue its high return objective and to have a meaningful impact on a broader portfolio through a relatively small allocation. As a result, the Fund is relatively volatile and investors should have a corresponding risk tolerance and capacity. The Fund is primarily aimed at more sophisticated investor types. The Fund may enter into OTC derivative contracts to generate currency market exposure. While these contracts are collateralized, the risk of counterparty default remains. As the Fund uses derivatives and sophisticated leverage techniques, investors must be willing to bear the additional risk involved. Every fund has specific risks which can significantly increase under unusual market conditions. A description of the fund specific risks can be found in the prospectus.
