Omnis Diversified Returns Fund

Investment Objective

The fund aims to achieve an annualised return consisting of both income and capital of 2% above the rate of cash, measured as GBP SONIA after all fees and expenses, over a five-year rolling period. There is no guarantee that this will be achieved over this, or any, timeframe and capital is at risk.

The fund’s investment philosophy is based on two key pillars- diversification (the spreading of risk across different investments) and risk management. The fund diversifies its holdings across traditional investments such as stocks and bonds that are easy to buy and sell, and it holds them over the short, medium or long term.

Fundamental and behavioural factors are taken into consideration when selecting an investment. Fundamental factors include the valuation of an investment and the state of the global economy. Fulcrum believes it has developed an edge in its use of technology to analyse economic developments in close to real time. Behavioural factors seek to measure how much risk investors are prepared to take given the prevailing market conditions.

Rigorous risk management helps the fund deliver long-term returns. Though the managers are willing to accept some risk of short-term loss, they work to minimise the scale and duration of any drawdown. Over time, the focus on capital preservation provides a solid foundation from which to deliver positive long-term returns that differ from those generated by global equity and bond markets.

The fund is actively managed and the manager has full discretion when choosing assets to invest in (in-line with the fund’s investment objectives).
