The fund operates with an investment strategy focused on capital growth through tactical investments in a diversified portfolio of ETFs spanning across different asset classes including equities, bonds, commodities, currencies, and gold. This strategy hinges on the utilisation of "relative sentiment" factors to guide the allocation of assets. By strategically choosing to invest in a mix of passively-managed ETFs that cover both U.S. and international developed markets, alongside specific exchange-traded products (ETPs) in gold, commodities, and currencies, the fund positions itself to leverage market sentiments and trends across a broad spectrum of investments. Despite its expansive approach, it is characterized as non-diversified, indicating a potentially higher concentration of investments in specific sectors or assets compared to diversified counterparts.
The fund invests in a range of passively-managed equity ETFs that are focused on both U.S. and foreign developed markets. This allows the fund to participate in the global equity markets, aiming to capitalize on growth opportunities while responding to shifting market sentiments.
By involving itself in bond ETFs, the fund incorporates fixed income securities into its portfolio. This diversification strategy aims to balance the risk by mixing more stable, income-generating investments with its equity positions, catering to varied market conditions.
Investing in gold ETPs allows the fund to have direct exposure to the gold market. This commodity investment is typically viewed as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation, adding a layer of security and diversification to the fund's investment strategy.
Apart from gold, the fund extends its commodities portfolio by investing in other commodities ETPs. This broadens its hedge against inflation and leverage on commodities' cyclical and non-cyclical movements, reflecting a robust approach to capital growth.
The inclusion of currency ETPs in the fund's portfolio provides a strategic exposure to foreign exchange markets, enabling the fund to benefit from currency fluctuations and adding an additional layer of diversification by tapping into the dynamics of the global currency markets.
