Funds and prices

Overview

This actively managed, defensive equity fund invests in companies from across the globe that offer a high dividend yield.

The fund aims to generate additional income through call overwriting.

The fund focuses on quality factors to exclude low quality stocks, including the company’s ability to pay stable or growing dividends.

Local currency risks are largely hedged versus USD.

The strategy is based on a quantitative model.

This fund promotes environmental and social characteristics and falls under SFDR Article 8(1).

The portfolio manager is not tied to the benchmark in terms of investment selection or weight.

Benefits

Easy access to a high quality, defensive equity portfolio which aims to provide some downside cushion during market corrections.

Strong income component generated from dividends and call option premiums.

Investors can profit from a portfolio that seeks optimal diversification - low single stock weights and broad country and sector allocations.

Investors can largely avoid the impact from fluctuations of the local investment currencies versus USD.

Risks

ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Equity Funds invest in equities and may therefore be subject to high fluctuations in value. As these ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ funds pursue an active management style, each fund's performance can deviate substantially from that of its reference index. All investments are subject to market fluctuations. Every fund has specific risks, which can significantly increase under unusual market conditions. The fund can use derivatives, which may result in additional risks (particularly counterparty risk). In distributing share classes, the equity yield, net of fund fees, will be distributed. The distributing (-dist) share classes of this fund intend to distribute capital as well as income (e.g. from dividends). Investors in some jurisdictions may incur a higher rate of tax on distributed capital than on any capital gains which are realized on disposal of fund shares. Some investors may therefore choose to invest in the accumulating (-acc) instead of the distributing (-dist) share classes. Investors may be taxed at a later point in time on income and capital arising on accumulating (-acc) share classes compared to distributing (-dist) share classes. Investors should seek their own tax advice.
