While there are existing products that are branded as solutions for managing volatility in a Global equity portfolio, the Fund does so with a unique investment process and is among the few that are systematic and are grounded in factor-based investing. Using our innovative proprietary model we produce a valuation-aware low volatility portfolio – cheaper than the minimum volatility index and with a high dividend yield.

A low volatility equity portfolio offers investors a peace of mind. Low volatility investing seeks to avoid drawdowns that weaken your portfolio, so you don’t have to keep recouping your losses – making it easier to accumulate wealth over the long term. The Fund thus aims to deliver better risk-adjusted returns with an attractive dividend yield across market cycles through a lower drawdown during market downturns.
