Investment objectives

The objective of the fund is to provide long term growth by investing in a portfolio of other authorised funds, worldwide equities, fixed interest stocks, cash and money market instruments. The investment manager will take a fundamental and value driven approach to portfolio allocation, dependent on the relevant attractions of the world equity, fixed interest and currency markets. The fund will take an aggressive view of the stock market weightings in the portfolio, when compared to a neutral world market capitalisation.

The Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF) shows the drag on performance caused by operational expenses associated with a fund.

Expenses which are represented by this figure include payments to the manager, the trustee the custodian and their representatives. The figure also includes registration, regulatory, audit and legal fees, and the costs of distribution.

Performance fees, transaction costs, interest on borrowing, costs associated with derivatives, entry and exit fees and soft commissions are not included in the OCF calculation, and should be factored in separately by the investor.

The OCF is calculated by taking the sum of these expenses incurred in the last 12 months and dividing this by the average net assets of that class for the last 12 months.

Total Expense Ratio (TER) is a formula designed to show the ongoing costs to the investor associated with a fund, including some charges which are not factored into the annual management fee. In addition the fund’s annual fee, charges such as trading fees, audit and legal fees, and operational expenses are included in the TER, which is worked out by dividing the total cost of the fund by its total assets to arrive at a percentage.

Unlike the Ongoing Charges Figure, the TER takes into account performance fees. It does not include transaction costs paid to the custodian.

Sometimes I am happy to pay for low volatility, and that is when I use this fund. DYOR etc.

21 March 2013. Up 11.2% in three years, including the bull run since the summer of 2012. I think it would be smarter to hunt for growth elsewhere. And if it is low volatility that is wanted there are plenty funds that have that but with stronger growth. Investec Cautious Managed, Kames etc etc.

Note the zero yield. You are expected to rely on hopes of capital appreciation and in the mean time live on air. The management how ever will take 20% of the fund's value in annual fees in 10 years and I am sure toast your good health.
