Overview

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Fund aims to provide capital growth, over the long term. Performance target: To outperform the Consumer Price Index by 3% per annum, before the deduction of charges, over any 5 year period.

More

The Fund invests globally in a diverse portfolio of investments which gain exposure indirectly to alternative asset classes such as private equity, infrastructure, property, commodities and hedge funds. The Fund will invest at least 80% in a combination of closed ended funds (e.g. investment trusts), investment companies, REITs, collective investment schemes (both regulated and unregulated and including those managed by Janus Henderson), exchange traded funds (ETFs), exchange traded notes (ETNs) and fixed interest securities. The Fund may also invest in cash and money market instruments. The Investment Manager may use derivatives (complex financial instruments) to reduce risk or to manage the Fund more efficiently. The Fund is actively managed with reference to the Consumer Price Index as this forms the basis of the Fund's performance target. The Investment Manager has complete discretion to choose investments for the Fund.

Less

The value of an investment and the income from it can fall as well as rise as a result of market and currency fluctuations and you may not get back the amount originally invested.
Potential investors must read the prospectus, and where relevant, the key investor information document before investing.

Index Description

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the change in prices of a basket of consumer goods and services. CPI is used in the UK as a measure of the change in inflation. It forms the basis of the Fund's performance target and provides a useful comparison against which the Fund’s performance can be assessed over time.

The I Acc share class was launched on 01/01/1970. Performance prior to that date is past performance based on the Y Acc share class of the same fund which has a different current ongoing charge included of 0.55.
Note that any differences among portfolio securities currencies, share class currencies and costs to be paid or represented in currencies other than your home currency will expose you to currency risk.  Costs and returns may increase or decrease as a result of currency and exchange rate fluctuations.
Performance fees are charged separately as a way of rewarding the investment manager for superior returns or for outperforming specified targets. A Performance Fee is accrued where the NAV outperforms the relevant Hurdle NAV (subject to a High Water Mark).

Fund charges will impact the value of your investment. In particular, the ongoing charges applicable to each fund will dilute investment performance, particularly over time.
Please note the performance target is to be achieved over a specific annualised time period. Refer to the performance target wording within the objective.

  • ​The value of the Funds and the income from them is not guaranteed and may fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you originally invested.
  • ​Past performance does not predict future returns.
  • Third party data is believed to be reliable, but its completeness and accuracy is not guaranteed.
  • The Fund invests in other funds (including exchange-traded funds and investment trusts/companies). This may introduce more risky assets, derivative usage and other risks associated with the underlying funds, as well as contributing to a higher level of ongoing charges.
  • The Fund may use derivatives with the aim of reducing risk or managing the portfolio more efficiently. However this introduces other risks, in particular, that a derivative counterparty may not meet its contractual obligations.
  • If the Fund holds assets in currencies other than the base currency of the Fund, or you invest in a share/unit class of a different currency to the Fund (unless hedged, i.e. mitigated by taking an offsetting position in a related security), the value of your investment may be impacted by changes in exchange rates.
  • Securities within the Fund could become hard to value or to sell at a desired time and price, especially in extreme market conditions when asset prices may be falling, increasing the risk of investment losses.
  • The Fund could lose money if a counterparty with which the Fund trades becomes unwilling or unable to meet its obligations, or as a result of failure or delay in operational processes or the failure of a third party provider.
  • The Fund invests significantly in investment trusts to gain exposure to alternative asset classes and, since investment trusts are listed equities, events impacting the wider equity market are likely to impact the Fund.
  • Some documents are available in alternative formats. Click here for information on how to request them.
  • Funds incur costs as a necessary part of buying and selling the underlying investments, these are otherwise known as portfolio transaction costs, and include charges such as broker commission and Stamp Duty.
  • Before investing in any of our funds you should satisfy yourself as to the suitability and the risks involved.
