The Fund

The Fund, which was launched in 2014 and is managed by Mayank Markanday, seeks to generate income and capital growth by combining asset classes, sectors and securities that deliver total returns above inflation over the long term. The process is unconstrained with a focus on listed private assets that can help diversify against traditional equities and bonds. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net asset value in a diversified portfolio of real assets (including investments in infrastructure, renewables. commodities, inflation linked assets and specialist property). The Fund can only invest up to 10% of its assets in other open-ended collective investment schemes.

You are able to redeem your investment from the Fund at any time and there is no exit fee for doing so.

Past performance does not predict future returns. You may get back less than you originally invested. Reference to specific securities is not intended as a recommendation to purchase or sell any investment.

Our Investment Process

The Real Asset investment process seeks to combine asset classes, sectors and securities that deliver total returns above inflation over the long term. The process is unconstrained and dynamic, with a focus on listed private assets that can help diversify against traditional equities and bonds.
The Fund invests in both growth and defensive assets with the  allocations changing according to the view of the business cycle. A combination of quantitative and qualitative signals leans the Fund into areas of the market that provide the best risk adjusted outcomes.
The process selects securities with:

Real returns – cash flows directly or indirectly linked to inflation and benefit from secular trends 
Strong corporate fundamentals – transparent business models, appropriate leverage and high-quality management 
Dividend sustainability – a stable and/or growing dividend cover for income securities
Valuations – not overpaying for companies

The fund managers aim to ensure there is no single risk or factor that dominates the overall risk of the portfolio. The fund managers construct the portfolio to seek to deliver alternative sources of risk and returns from traditional equities and bonds. As a daily dealing alternative fund, maintaining a high liquid profile is essential. Individual holding weights are determined by both conviction and liquidity.

As a number of real assets provide critical infrastructure and/or essential services their earnings may be less exposed to the economic cycle versus traditional equities. But other subsectors such as commodities are more directly linked to the growth cycle. Some real asset sectors such as listed property companies (REITs) and infrastructure companies can be relatively more sensitive to interest rates.

Past performance does not predict future returns. You may get back less than you originally invested. Reference to specific securities is not intended as a recommendation to purchase or sell any investment.

Total return performance figures are calculated net of costs and charges, on a bid price to bid price basis (mid to mid for OEICs) with net income (dividends) reinvested. Where applicable the quartile rank is for the primary share class within the sector. If your investment is made in a currency other than that used in the past performance calculation the return may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations.

How to invest in Liontrust funds

Through a fund platform
Through a financial adviser
Direct with Liontrust

Key Risks

Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of an investment and the income generated from it can fall as well as rise and is not guaranteed. You may get back less than you originally invested. The issue of units/shares in Liontrust Funds may be subject to an initial charge, which will have an impact on the realisable value of the investment, particularly in the short term. Investments should always be considered as long term.

Some of the Funds and Model Portfolios managed by the Multi-Asset Team have exposure to foreign currencies and may be subject to fluctuations in value due to movements in exchange rates. The majority of the Funds and Model Portfolios invest in Fixed Income securities indirectly through collective investment schemes. The value of fixed income securities will fall if the issuer is unable to repay its debt or has its credit rating reduced. Generally, the higher the perceived credit risk of the issuer, the higher the rate of interest. Bond markets may be subject to reduced liquidity. Some Funds may have exposure to property via collective investment schemes. Property funds may be more difficult to value objectively so may be incorrectly priced, and may at times be harder to sell. This could lead to reduced liquidity in the Fund. Some Funds and Model Portfolios also invest in non-mainstream (alternative) assets indirectly through collective investment schemes. During periods of stressed market conditions non-mainstream (alternative) assets may be difficult to sell at a fair price, which may cause prices to fluctuate more sharply.
