New Fund Name: OMR IFSL Marlborough 4 Portfolio
New Investment Objective:
The aim of the Fund is to increase the value of an investment over a minimum of 5 years. The Fund will do this through a combination of capital growth, which is profit on investments held, and income, which is money paid out of investments, such as interest from bonds and dividends from shares. This will be achieved whilst aiming to maintain a risk rating classification of ‘4’. The risk classification is a range the Investment Manager maintains from 1 which is classified as the lowest risk to 10 which is classified as the highest risk. The Fund is managed to operate within the limits of the risk rating, which may limit the potential for capital growth and income. The Fund is actively managed which means the Investment Manager decides which investments to buy or sell, and when. The Fund will invest at least 70% in collective investment schemes, investment trusts and exchange traded products, i.e. ETFs/ETCs (collectively “Investment Funds”), with no minimum or maximum exposure to any geographic region. This could include other Investment Funds managed by the Authorised Fund Manager or the Investment Manager. Through these Investment Funds, the Fund will be exposed to:
• a mix of lower and medium-risk asset types, normally between 25-70%, such as bonds (which are loans issued by companies and governments), cash, and money market instruments (which are short-term loans).
• higher-risk asset types, normally between 30-60%, such as shares in companies
• alternative asset types such as property, infrastructure, commodities (e.g. gold) and absolute return funds.
The Fund may also invest in these asset types directly (excluding property and commodities) up to a maximum of 30%. The Fund may hold up to 20% in cash to enable the ready settlement of liabilities, for the efficient management of the portfolio and in pursuit of the Fund’s investment objective.
This fund invests in the underlying retail fund in order to track its performance, this means that fund performance may differ to the underlying fund.
