The investment objective of the Fund is to deliver total returns (comprised of income and capital growth) of the Consumer Prices Index + 1.5% over the long term (7 years) (net of management fees and underlying fund charges). Capital is in fact at risk and there is no guarantee that a positive return will be achieved over a seven year, or any, period. The Fund will seek to achieve its objective by investing at least 70% in a range of collective investment vehicles (including exchange traded funds, investment trusts and funds managed and/or operated by the ACD or Investment Manager) providing exposure to asset classes including equities, fixed interest investments, cash, structured products and alternative assets such as absolute return funds, property and infrastructure. Equity exposure within the portfolio is expected to be between 40-60% and typically around 50%. The Fund may also invest directly in equities, fixed income, money market instruments, deposits, cash and near cash.
