The Fund is for you if:

  • You have an existing investment portfolio and are looking for ways to enhance returns and further diversify your overall portfolio.
  • Your view of diversification includes benefitting from dynamic strategy teams employing multiple strategies and instruments across different asset classes (equities, fixed income and commodities) that generate uncorrelated return streams. 
  • Your main objective is to create real investment growth over the medium-to-long-term. 
  • You are in the position to stay invested for 7+ years, allowing the fund to achieve maximum growth (although you may withdraw from the fund at any time). 
  • You are comfortable with an investment risk profile that is medium-high. 
  • You wish to generate potential positive returns even when markets are falling, capitalising on downside risk protection that hedge funds typically offer.
