To provide a balance of income and capital growth over the medium to long term.
The Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective through investing in a diversified
portfolio of collective investment schemes and other permitted investments that have a
similarly diversified character such as investment companies and exchange traded funds
(ETFs).
The portfolio will be comprised predominantly of cash and near cash, fixed interest
securities and equity funds.
The allocation of the portfolio will be approximately balanced between, on the one hand,
collective investment schemes investing in growth assets (such as shares) to provide the
potential for capital growth and, on the other, collective investment schemes investing in
defensive assets (such as fixed interest securities and cash)
The ACD will use an asset allocation model to identify the mix of asset classes most
appropriate to achieve the investment objective of this Fund, consistent with a medium
risk profile. The ACD will select a range of investments that are suitable to achieve the
asset mix recommended.
In order to provide diversification, the portfolio will typically be allocated across funds
managed by a number of leading investment managers. While the ACD expects that the
Fund's portfolio will be invested largely in other collective investment schemes, the Fund
may also invest in other transferable securities, money market instruments, cash and
near cash and deposits where appropriate to achieve its investment objective. The ACD
may also utilise derivatives for the purposes of efficient portfolio management. Use may
also be made of stock lending, borrowing and other investment techniques of efficient
portfolio management. Investments in global shares and collective investment schemes
will not be hedged back to the pound sterling (£).
The ACD must ensure that the Fund maintains sufficient cash for the purposes of
maintaining liquidity. This portion of the Fund's assets must be represented by cash or
similarly liquid assets (which may include money market instruments, deposits or units
in collective investment schemes) at all times.
The Fund's portfolio and mix of asset classes will be rebalanced from time to time at the
absolute discretion of the ACD not less than once each calendar quarter.
