The investment objective of the Fund is to aim to achieve long-term absolute returns of inflation + 3% to 5% in all market conditions over rolling five year annualised periods, with lower volatility than equity markets. In doing so the Fund aims to achieve a positive return on a rolling three year basis. However, a positive return is not guaranteed and a capital loss may occur. In seeking to achieve its investment goal, the Fund will hold a diversified portfolio, typically consisting of equities, commodity related instruments, fixed income and cash either directly or indirectly through the use of derivatives.
