The Sub-Fund will follow various investment strategies that focus on different markets, asset classes and time frames with a view to identifying and take advantage of prices inefficiencies and/or directional investment opportunities. The Sub-Fund may invest in collective investment schemes managed by the Investment Manager, including other subfunds of the Company. In this case, the Investment Manager shall re-imburse the Sub-Fund any management and/or performance fees received in connection with the Sub-Fund’s investment in the target collective investment scheme. The Sub-Fund is not expected to have any bias towards any specific issuer, industrial or other market sector or capitalisation.

The Investment Manager is also expected to invest in FDIs for hedging purposes and the reduction of risk. The SubFund may also invest in short-term fixed income instruments, money market funds and cash and cash equivalents. The Sub-Fund may also retain amounts in cash or cash equivalents, pending reinvestment and to meet operating expenses and redemption requests, if this is considered appropriate to the objective of maximising absolute returns. Uninvested cash which has not been placed as margin may, subject to investment restrictions, be held on deposit in a bank account in the name of the Sub-Fund. When appropriate the Sub-Fund may also employ leverage through borrowing.
