Portfolio Description
The portfolio is designed for investors
looking for a significant level of
investment income whilst aiming to
maintain the real value of their capital.
The fund primarily invests in collective
investment schemes and provides
exposure to equities, fixed interest
securities, commercial property and
alternative assets such as hedge funds
and structured products.
Asset allocation across these markets
can be flexible but will maintain at least
60% exposure to interest bearing assets
in order for the fund itself to make
interest distributions. There are no
constraints in respect of the fund’s
geographic exposure.

Glossary
Maximum Drawdown is the maximum peak to trough decline during a specific investment period. The lower the maximum decline, the better.
The Sharpe ratio was developed by William Sharpe in 1966. It measures the excess return per unit of risk compared to the risk free rate and is one
of the key risk/return ratios. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the better the fund's risk adjusted performance.
Omega is a slightly more sophisticated version of the Sharpe ratio as it takes into account all the information in a series of returns (unlike the Sharpe
ratio, it doesn’t assume a normal distribution). The higher Omega is, the better.
The Gain/Loss ratio is the ratio of gains and losses over time. The higher this ratio is, the better.
The Appraisal ratio is used to measure the quality of a fund’s stock picking ability. A positive appraisal ratio suggests the manager has been successful
at choosing funds compared to the benchmark. performance.
