The Fund
The Fund, which was launched in 2001 and is in the IA Volatility Managed sector, seeks to achieve capital growth and income with a median level of volatility, having a risk profile of 4 in a range from 1 (lowest) to 7 (highest). The underlying funds in the portfolio invest globally (including in emerging markets) across asset classes and financial instruments. The underlying funds will be a blend of active and passive funds. Active funds will be selected over passive funds where the investment team believes the potential returns from active funds outweigh any additional cost. The Fund typically has a balanced exposure to higher risk assets and lower risk assets compared to other funds in the Liontrust MA Blended Funds range that have a higher or lower risk profile.
You are able to redeem your investment from the Fund at any time and there is no exit fee for doing so.

How to invest in Liontrust funds
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.
