    About this fund

    Fund objectives

    • The Fund’s investment objective is to hold investments that will pay out money and have some increase in value for investors planning to retire in or within approximately five years after 2015.
    • The Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective by investing more than 80% of its assets in passive funds that track an index, which are managed or operated by the ACD or its associates (“Associated Schemes”). Direct investments (in transferable securities such as shares, bonds and other similar fixed income investments) may also be made.
    • The Fund is actively managed in that the Investment Adviser has discretion in respect of the Associated Schemes in which the Fund may invest and the allocations to them, each of which may change over time. The Investment Adviser manages the Fund through the pre-determined periodic rebalancing of its exposure to shares and bonds (and other similar fixed income investments), as detailed above.
    • The Fund attempts to remain fully invested and hold small amounts of cash except in extraordinary market, political or similar conditions where the Fund may temporarily depart from this investment policy.
