The fund can be exposed to different currencies. Changes in foreign exchange rates could create losses. Equity prices fluctuate daily, based on many factors including general, economic, industry or company news. Investments in smaller companies can be less liquid than investments in larger companies and price swings may therefore be greater than in larger company funds. In difficult market conditions, the fund may not be able to sell a security for full value or at all. This could affect performance and could cause the fund to defer or suspend redemptions of its shares. Failures at service providers could lead to disruptions of fund operations or losses. Schroder ISF UK Equity – Risk Factors: The capital is not guaranteed. The fund will not hedge its market risk in a down cycle. The value of the fund will move similarly to the markets. Past performance is not a guide to future performance and may not be repeated. The value of investments and the income from them may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amounts originally invested.

  • Accenture Retirement Savings Plan
    Accenture Retirement Savings Plan Statement of Investment Principles – Default Investment Options 27 September 2019 1. Background Members who do not make an investment choice are invested in the Plan’s default investment options. The Trustee has selected the Lifestyle Strategy - Drawdown Focus as the default investment option. This is the current default arrangement for new joiners to the Plan. Prior to January 2016, new joiners to the Auto Enrolment Section were auto- enrolled into Flexicycle. Flexicycle was closed to new members in January 2016 (and most members were transferred to the Lifestyle Strategy – Drawdown Focus). However, Flexicycle continues to operate for members that were already in the de-risking phase and purchasing annuity protection funds at this date and who have not selected an alternative investment option. Members invested via Flexicycle continue to have the option to switch out to the other investment options at any time. 2. Investment Strategy 2.1 Investment Aims, Objectives and Expected Returns The Lifestyle Strategy - Drawdown Focus aims to generate capital growth over the long term. In the years prior to retirement, the lifestyle aims to reduce the volatility of the member’s expected pension pot through investing in a diversified portfolio that aims to provide a balance between risk and return. This, together with new contributions from members and the Principal Employer, will provide a fund at retirement with which to transfer to an arrangement offering the facility to drawdown an income during retirement. The Flexicycle aims to generate capital growth over the long term. In the years prior to retirement, the Flexicycle aims to reduce the volatility of the annuity income the member can secure at retirement and the value of their tax free cash lump sum.

  • Fund Objectives and Investment Policy Share Class
    Fund objectives and investment policy The investment objective of this investment fund is to achieve long-term capital growth through investments in equities and other equity securities of Swiss companies. The investment fund uses the performance of the Swiss Performance Index (SPI) as a benchmark. The investment fund is managed by the fund management on a discretionary basis. The fund management is not limited to investments pursuant to the composition of the SPI. The fund's assets are mainly invested in equities and other equity securities (equities, dividend rights certificates, cooperative shares, participation certificates and similar) of companies with a registered office or predominant activity in Switzerland. Up to one-third of the fund's assets may be invested in equities and other equity securities of companies listed on European and North American stock markets, equity or index funds that are part of a Swiss equity index or a specific segment thereof, debt securities or money market instruments. Derivatives may be used to achieve the investment objective and to reduce risk or manage the investment fund more efficiently. Shares of the investment fund may, in principle, be redeemed on any banking day, subject to the exceptions listed in the prospectus. The returns from this share class are reinvested. The investment fund shall also bear all incidental costs for the purchase and sale of investments (standard brokerage fees, commissions, taxes, etc.) incurred in the management of the investment fund's assets. These costs shall be directly offset against the acquisition or redemption value of the respective investments. These incidental costs shall be incurred in addition to the fees listed under “Charges” and reduce the return on investment.

  • Standard Life Aberdeen (SLA); FTSE 100; Financial Services
    Selling: Standard Life Aberdeen (SLA); FTSE 100; Financial Services Managing a portfolio is a lot like managing a garden. In gardening there are regular recurring tasks such as trimming back fast-growing plants and replacing unattractive plants with more attractive alternatives. In a portfolio this means regularly trimming back oversized positions and replacing unattractive holdings with more attractive alternatives. Average purchase price Current price Holding period (including investment in Aberdeen AM) £3.76 £2.90 Feb 2016 to Apr 2021 (5yrs 2mo) Capital gain Dividend income Annualised return (including return of capital from de-mergers) -13.4% 31.2% 4.0% “Standard Life Aberdeen is one of the world’s largest investment companies, the largest active manager in the UK and one of the largest in Europe. It has a significant global presence and the scale and expertise to help clients meet their investment goals.” Overview Standard Life Aberdeen (SLA) originally joined the model portfolio in 2016 as Aberdeen Asset Management, which was then the second largest active fund manager in the UK (second only to Schroders). This investment worked out well, with the 2017 merger of Aberdeen and Standard Life leading to annualised return of 17% at the merger date. I decided to hold on to the SLA shares post merger because Standard Life was a leading asset manager and the combined group promised additional economies of scale and a more diverse and robust business. Four years later and as a more experienced investor, I now think both companies lacked durable competitive advantages and I think that’s true of the combined business too.

The fund may also invest directly or indirectly in other securities (including in other asset classes), countries, regions, industries or currencies, collective investment schemes (including Schroder funds), warrants and money market instruments, and hold cash.
