The fund is a US Dollar denominated global equity fund providing exposure to a diversified basket of developed market equities and is suited to investors with a high-risk profile and a long-term investment horizon.

The underlying equities are accessed through specialist global active and systematic fund managers to whom many South African investors would otherwise not have access.

Understanding the investor’s risk profile
The fund follows a balanced style approach and uses specialist third party equity managers from across the world to implement its equity exposure. The fund is therefore suitable as a core equity holding for investors who want to generate long term capital growth by investing in a diversified US Dollar denominated global equity fund and can tolerate the heightened levels of volatility associated with equity funds.
