Fund aim

The aim of the fund is to achieve absolute returns through targeted investment strategies independent of UK market conditions or indices.

Performance target

To achieve an 8 - 10% net annual absolute return with less than two-thirds of the volatility of the FTSE All-Share Index.*
*There is no guarantee that either the target or positive returns will be achieved.


Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of an investment and the income from it may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested.
