In 2015, the Fund returned 7.8%* for investors and March 2016 sees it celebrating its third anniversary under the combined stewardship of Nigel Ridge and Nick Osborne. Against a backdrop of further market volatility, this absolute return strategy offers an attractive way for investors to benefit from consistent alpha generation coupled with low beta and low correlation.
