Introducing a fund that is designed to make money when the markets are trending down as well as up
Aspect Diversified Futures Fund uses a sophisticated process to identify trends in both rising and falling markets and seeks to exploit them for profit. The fund, exclusively available from Colonial First State, offers the potential for superior long-term returns and real diversification, making it a valuable addition to consider for your clients’ portfolios. And it also comes ‘Highly Recommended’ from Lonsec*.
The manager, Aspect Capital, uses an investment process based on detailed research and systematic trend analysis. It invests in up to 100 investment markets across 23 exchanges around the world including equities, interest rates, currencies, energy, agricultural commodities and metals. And with a low correlation to traditional asset classes over the long term, this can provide a powerful diversification tool for your clients’ portfolios. It has the potential to perform better in trending markets as opposed to fluctuating or flat markets.
Aspect Capital was established in 1997 by two of the founders of AHL Ltd, so it is built on a wealth of experience and employs over 120 dedicated staff. It created the Aspect Diversified Programme, which has outperformed its benchmark† since inception in 1998. This new fund has no performance history but will utilise the same investment team and established processes.
