Investors seeking long-term capital appreciation and income, with an appetite for moderate risk (Risk Band 2) and a medium to long-term investment horizon, who appreciate tax-efficient returns and a strategy aiming for consistent, low-volatile outcomes across various market conditions.
This fund is not suitable for investors with a low-risk appetite, a short investment horizon, or those requiring immediate liquidity. Investors sensitive to high market volatility or adverse interest rate movements should also consider alternatives.
In bull markets, the fund is expected to outperform traditional arbitrage strategies due to its long equity exposure (incidental from covered calls, pair trades, IPO participation) and selective opportunities in special situations. However, its overall strategy emphasizes low volatility and may provide moderate equity upside compared to pure equity funds due to hedging.
In bear markets, the fund aims to provide downside protection through efficient delta hedging using derivatives and its short equity exposure. Fixed income and arbitrage components are expected to provide stable returns, helping limit drawdowns compared to traditional equity funds. However, extremely sharp or volatile bear markets could still lead to underperformance.
In sideways or range-bound markets, the fund is well-positioned to perform strongly, primarily leveraging its covered call, short straddle, and short strangle strategies. These strategies are designed to profit from low volatility and premium decay, offering consistent returns even when directional market movements are limited.
An interval investment strategy, this fund blends equities, fixed income, and derivatives. Its core strategy involves cash-future arbitrage and fixed income for stable returns. Enhanced drivers include special situations like IPOs/buybacks and derivative strategies such as long-short equities, straddles, strangles, and put-call parity to capture market inefficiencies with low volatility.
This fund is comparable to an Equity Savings Fund in the mutual fund category, offering debt-like returns with potential for limited equity upside, but with greater flexibility in its derivative and special situations strategies.
This fund can serve as a satellite allocation or an alternative/hedge sleeve in a diversified portfolio, aiming to enhance overall portfolio returns with lower volatility. It acts as a return enhancer for investors seeking consistent income and moderate growth potential, providing diversification benefits across various market conditions.
