The Refined Growth Fund is targeted at professional and institutional investors.

Investment Strategy

The investment policy of the Refined Growth Fund is to provide capital growth over any five-year period. The Fund builds on the benefits of using structured products to deliver more reliable and consistent returns for portfolio managers allocating assets to alternatives. By leveraging IDAD’s extensive relationships with more than 30 investment-grade issuers, the Fund is able to enhance returns using diversified counterparty credit risk. Introducing traditional investment management skills and experience adds further value and contributes significantly to returns.

Core Holdings

The Fund has a core allocation to index-linked products providing broadly-diversified developed markets exposure. Products will be designed to deliver capital growth even if the underlying equity markets are flat or even fall slightly. These holdings represent around 80% of assets.

Tactical Holdings

A satellite allocation representing up to 20% of assets that are designed to produce higher returns by investing in products linked to a wider range of underlying instruments, such as less-developed equity market indices, sectoral indices, stocks and commodities. This part of the portfolio may become very defensive during periods when the managers are concerned regarding market direction.

Liquidity & exposure management

The Fund may also invest in ETFs to manage liquidity and geographic exposures.
