- Long-term growth amidst harsh economic environments. Ongoing inflation and the impact of interest rate hikes are potential catalysts for continued market volatility. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that investors should avoid investing altogether, as statistically, investors who hold their investments over the long term tend to outperform the market compared to investors who try to time their holdings. One way to manage portfolio risk while generating returns over the long term is by investing in defensive stocks with the potential to weather market volatility across different market cycles.
- Stability and low volatility. The fund adopts a disciplined, low-volatility approach to buying high-quality, stable companies at the right price (QSP) and provides investors with multiple ways to mitigate risk while still participating in market gains. An investment portfolio based on a “90/70” model, it targets to capture 90% of the market gains when the market rises and 70% of the decline when the market falls in order to minimize losses and maximize profits. The Fund is expected to recover more quickly following a market downturn versus the broader market due to its focus on quality and stability.
