Investing for Solid Returns
The investment managers focus their skills and experience
on managing a portfolio of funds with a bias towards
areas which they believe will outperform both now and
in the future. The “top down” decisions relating to asset
class allocation is inevitably a key influencing factor in the
performance of the fund. Any asset class or sector which

Once the decision in relation to asset class is made, the
managers employ both quantitative and qualitative research
to select fund managers who they believe will provide
the most consistent returns in their particular field over
the medium to long term. They also take advantage of the
availability of exchange traded securities in instances where
the size or efficiency of a particular investment market
makes effective active management impractical.
The fund targets real positive returns on an annual
basis and seeks to provide investors with superior risk
adjusted returns over the medium to long term. The
fund has no capital guarantees and, in times of extreme
market conditions, these targets may prove difficult to
achieve but remain central to the investment strategy
being implemented. The managers endeavour to limit the
downside potential of the fund by making strategic calls in
relation to asset classes and fund selection.
