Investment Objectives

The fund seeks to generate consistent positive total returns with an emphasis on capital preservation and low correlation to traditional equity and fixed income markets. The fund will be primarily invested in the investment grade debt of corporations and financial institutions in the developed world. The fund will use leverage. The leverage will be created through the use of cash borrowings, short sales and derivative contracts.

Investment Strategy

The portfolio adviser will purchase and manage a core portfolio of primarily investment grade debt, the selection of which will be based on sound fundamental principles and technical market conditions. The investment will be allocated across a large number of issuers in multiple industry sectors and geographical locations in all parts of the capital structure and maturity profile.
