Artemis Strategic Assets Fund

The Artemis Strategic Assets Fund aims to grow capital by greater than 3% above the Consumer Price Index (CPI) per annum after fees over a five-year period, by strategically allocating the fund’s investments across a diversified range of types of assets in markets around the world. 

It seeks to achieve this by investing in highly liquid investments (those that can be easily sold at their fair market value and converted into cash quickly) across a variety of asset classes including bonds, commodities, currencies and company shares when the manager deems it appropriate. 

Investments are typically made in broad market indices (for example, but not limited to, the S&P 500 Index in the US) rather than individual company shares or bonds. The fund makes extensive use of derivatives (financial instruments whose value is derived from that of another investment) to achieve its investments. The fund is actively managed and can also change the proportions of those assets as economic and market conditions evolve.  

The fund invests largely in developed markets (countries that are most progressed in terms of their economy and financial systems); investment in emerging markets is limited and only at the index level rather than via individual company shares and bonds. 

Please remember that the value of any investment can rise and fall with movements in markets, currencies and interest rates and you may not get back as much as you put in. This fund holds a number of different types of financial instrument, each carrying specific risks. If you are unsure whether this fund is suitable for you, we would encourage you to consult a financial adviser. 

• A spread of investments: the fund’s multi-asset approach – investing in different types of assets including bonds, commodities, currencies and company shares, often via derivatives – offers investors diversification. 
• Awareness of the wider economic situation: the manager considers the economic factors that will affect the performance of the different types of assets within the fund. 
• Actively managed: the manager seeks to respond to changes in the prevailing economic and market environment to invest in the assets he deems to be most attractive. 
• High-liquidity approach: a key driver of the fund is how it seeks to minimise the risk of a fall in the value of the fund’s investment portfolio (known as drawdown), which it looks to achieve by investing in inexpensive, highly saleable markets, allowing the fund manager to exit any position within the fund within one day.
