Barings Multi Asset Fund

Objective

The investment objective of the Fund is to generate a capital return which exceeds U.K. inflation over a three year period.

Strategy

The Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective through the use of a top down investment approach, which combines long term economic forecasts with an ability to take advantage of short term positions.

Who Should Invest

The Fund is designed for investors seeking a strategy that can deliver equity-like returns with less risk than holding an equity-only portfolio.

Risks

The value of investments can fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Emerging markets or less developed countries may face more political, economic or structural challenges than developed countries. Debt securities are subject to risks that the issuer will not meet its payment obligations. Changes in exchange rates between the currency of the Fund and the currencies in which the assets of the Fund are valued may also affect the value of the Fund. The Fund may also use derivatives for investment purposes. These are complex instruments that carry the risk of causing increased volatility in the value of the Fund.
