Investment Approach
Investing mainly in company shares, the Funds also include exposure to government bonds to help protect the portfolio and alternative assets like renewable energy infrastructure. High quality medium and large companies are favoured, to help reduce the volatility of returns that may occur when investing in smaller companies.
