Fund Aims

The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve long-term capital growth with a preference (often indirect) towards defensive assets such as cash, fixed interest securities, money-market funds and collective investment schemes following alternative strategies such as property and commodities and less emphasis on higher risk assets such as equities. This is to keep the Fund within a pre-determined risk profile. Capital is in fact at risk and there is no guarantee that capital growth will be achieved over a 5 year, or any period. The Fund will seek to achieve its objective (and so provide exposure to the asset classes noted in the objective) by investing predominantly (80% +), in index-tracking investments or strategies (those instruments and/or investment strategies that aim to track the performance of various financial indices) and which typically consist of collective investment schemes (including those managed or operated by the ACD) as well as equities, bonds and transferable securities. The Fund may also invest in non-index tracking collective investment schemes, equities, bonds, transferable securities, money market instruments, deposits, cash and near cash. The Fund will not have any particular geographic, industry or economic sector focus and as such weightings in these may vary as required. The Fund may have exposure to emerging markets through its investments in e.g. collective investment schemes or futures. The Fund’s risk profile is managed by restricting the types of asset held and allocations to those assets. The risk profiles are determined by the external risk rating agency’s forward looking volatility assumptions. The Fund aims to operate with a risk rating of 4, on a scale of 1-10 where 1 is an allocation to cash and 10 is an allocation to riskier equity regions such as Asia and emerging markets. Please note that the above risk rating is calculated on a different basis from that shown in the ‘risk and reward profile’ section of this KIID. The current external risk rating agency is Distribution Technology. Derivatives (that is sophisticated investment instruments linked to the rise and fall of the price of other assets) are held only for efficient portfolio management purposes.

Fund Specific Risks

Emerging Markets

The fund invests in emerging markets. Generally less well regulated than the UK. There is an increased chance of political and economic instability with less reliable custody, dealing and settlement arrangements. The market(s) can be less liquid. If a fund investing in markets is affected by currency exchange rates, the investment could either increase or decrease. These investments therefore carry more risk.

Value of Investments

The value of investments, and any income can fall, as well as rise, so you could get back less than you invested. Neither capital nor income is guaranteed.

Investments Long Term

Investments should be regarded as long term and are not suitable for money which may be needed in the short term, you should always have a sufficient cash reserve.

Derivative Exposure

The fund invests in derivatives as part of its investment strategy, over and above their use for Efficient Portfolio Management (EPM). Investors should be aware that the use of these instruments can, under certain circumstances, increase the volatility and risk profile of the Fund beyond that expected of a fund that only invests in equities. The fund may also be exposed to the risk that the company issuing the derivative may not honour their obligations which in turn could lead to losses arising.

New Fund

The charges and expenses may make up a higher proportion of a newly launched fund than initially estimated.

Returns Are Not Guaranteed

What you receive when you sell your investment is not guaranteed; it depends on how your investments perform.

Inflation

Inflation will reduce the real value of your investments in future.

Taxation and Tax Relief

Levels of taxation and tax relief are subject to change.
