On the 1st May 2025 we were informed by Ninety One Fund Managers (UK) that the Ninety One Multi-Asset Protector Fund would be merged with the Ninety One Diversified Income Fund on the 16th May 2025. As a result there will be a change to the fund customers currently hold.
Default replacement fund: OMR Ninety One Diversified Income Fund
Closing Fund IMC: 1.32%
Default Replacement Fund IMC: 0.94%
Objective of Default Replacement Fund:
The Fund aims to provide income with the opportunity for capital growth (to grow the value of your investment) over at least five years. The Fund seeks to limit volatility (the pace or amount of change in its value) to lower than 50% of that of shares of UK companies (measured using the FTSE All Share Index). The Fund invests in a broad range of assets around the world. These assets include bonds (or similar debt-based assets), shares of companies, listed property securities (such as real estate investment trusts) and other alternative assets (such as investment trusts in infrastructure). Investments may be held directly in the asset itself (excluding commodities and property) or indirectly (e.g. using derivatives (financial contracts whose value is linked to the price of an underlying asset), exchange traded products and/or funds). 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. Customers will be invested in the new fund from 16/05/2025, but these changes may not be visible until up to 2 weeks following this date.
