Diversified Multi-Factor Equity Fund

Fund codeMPAD

Fund aim

The investment objective of the fund is to provide long-term investment growth through exposure to a diversified portfolio of global equities that exhibit factor characteristics.

Fund characteristics

The fund will be fully invested in equities that exhibit the characteristics of certain equity risk factors that have been shown to be rewarded over the long term. The fund will gain exposure by investing in regional multi-factor building blocks. The regional allocation will be reviewed periodically (at least annually) and the fund will not take short term, tactical asset allocation positions. Derivatives may be used within the underlying funds for efficient portfolio management.
