It provides information such as the fund’s investment objective, recent trades and how it has performed in the past. This can help you decide whether the fund matches your objectives. You should also look at the Key Investor Information Document (KIID) which covers the essential features of the fund.

The tables below show both the annual and monthly performance of our fund strategy since launch in September 2017.
The table below displays the annualised performance of the fund from Q4 2014 to Q3 2019.
| Q4/2019—Q3/2020 | Q4/2018—Q3/2019 | Q4/2017—Q3/2018 | Q4/2016—Q3/2017 | Q4/2015—Q3/2016 |
|---|---|---|---|---|

NOTE 1
The table above is given in the format mandated by the FCA in “COBS 4.6.4A”. This requires that an investment firm show five complete 12-month periods and, where fewer than five years are available, that this is clearly indicated. Hence why we have included four years of ‘no data’.
The table below shows the monthly performance of the strategy since launch in September 2017.
