Fund of Funds

The New Road BCI Stable FoF aims to provide a more cautious investor with a well-diversified, multi-asset investment with a focus on capital stability. This is achieved by limiting drawdowns during times of market volatility and providing a return through a combination of predominantly income and, to a lesser extent, capital growth.

Strategy

The strategies we employ to achieve the above objectives are:

  • Limit the fund’s total equity exposure to a maximum of 40% of the portfolio’s net asset value, with listed property (limited to 25%) and income instruments comprising the balance. (The income component is used to achieve a more stable return profile, because of the yield opportunities on the investments, while the equity component is used to achieve longer-term capital growth and distributions.)
  • Maintain exposure to both local and offshore instruments, with global allocation forming a maximum of 45% of the portfolio’s net asset value.
  • Apply a building block approach to asset allocation to maintain strict control of the asset exposures.
  • Use predominantly active solutions to construct the income components of the fund, while local and offshore equity components are constructed using low-cost passive solutions to gain broad market exposure.
  • A limited portion of the fund will be exposed to actively selected growth themes.
  • Ensure that the fund complies with Regulation 28.
