Specialist fund
The Fund aims to maximise long term total return to investors by investing mainly in global convertible assets.
The Fund seeks to maximise the risk-reward profile through investment in convertible assets whose issuers may be in any country, including emerging markets. Global convertible assets includes all assets that either directly or via a combination of instruments achieve exposure of a convertible bond nature. Such exposure can be achieved by investing directly or through the use of derivative instruments. Additionally, derivative instruments may be used to manage the risk characteristics of the Fund. The remainder of the Fund may be invested in securities in support of the fund objective, such as, equities, bonds, collective investment schemes, derivative instruments, money market instruments, cash and near cash.
