What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The Fund seeks to provide a high level of total return (consisting of reinvestment of income with some capital appreciation).

Strategy, summarised

The fund operates as a fund of funds, investing in a diversified portfolio of underlying mutual funds and exchange-traded funds across fixed-income, equity, and specialty strategies. The portfolio manager allocates assets within predetermined ranges—typically 55% to 95% in fixed-income funds, 5% to 45% in equity funds, and up to 20% in specialty funds—based on economic outlook and market valuations, with no single underlying fund exceeding specified concentration limits. Because returns depend on the selection and performance of the underlying funds held, fund performance will diverge from any single index or asset class benchmark. The manager may temporarily exceed stated allocation ranges when deemed appropriate.

The outer band is exposure held short — written against the portfolio rather than part of it, which is why it sits outside the ring and why the two are never netted into one figure.

Volatility over the last 12 months: 4.92%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.

Jun 2026 and Jul 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
