The fund invests in the flexible combination of investments in the equity, gilt and money markets, both locally and abroad. The Inflation Linked Fund will be run to explicitly satisfy two important needs of investors, firstly to keep their purchasing power ahead of the cost of living, and secondly not to lose money. The fund will be conservatively managed with the key focus on capital preservation and real returns at a lower volatility than that of equity funds. The aim of the fund is to outperform inflation (CPI) by 5% (before costs) over a rolling three-year period. Furthermore, the portfolio manager will also strive not to lose capital over a 12-month rolling period. This makes this unit trust ideally suited to cautious investors and especially retirees. The fund does not offer any guarantees.
