OUR FLAGSHIP RANGE OF FUNDS

This matrix represents our flagship propositions across the full risk/return spectrum in which we manage money. Each one of these propositions applies a combination of our core skills of:

01Yield generation

02Risk management

03Asset allocation

In fact, the only thing we avoid is picking individual stocks as there is very weak evidence of any consistent success at this.
