The liquid alternative strategy’s two objectives consist of delivering a return target of cash +5 per cent over the long-term, and reducing half of the volatility in global equities over a rolling three-year period.

INVESCO head of sales, Eben Bowditch, said to achieve the objectives, the fund had a two to three year investment outlook on 25 to 30 ideas that had different investment goals.

“We call them ideas but essentially they’re trades or positions and each one of those positions are designed to operate a positive return,” he said.

“The fund’s philosophy is to find ideas in any asset class. It’s an unconstrained research approach that’s managed in a robust risk framework.

“So the fund is a genuine multi-asset that can invest in volatility, inflation instruments, equities, currencies, fixed interest, credits, and real estate proxies. It invests in just about every asset class that’s possible in a liquid format.”
