The Fund

The Fund, which was launched in 2014 and is managed by Mayank Markanday, will invest in a diverse range of assets. The process is unconstrained with a focus on listed private assets that can help diversify against traditional equities and bonds. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net asset value in a portfolio of real assets (including investments in infrastructure, renewables. commodities, inflation linked assets and specialist property). The Fund can only invest up to 10% of its assets in other open-ended collective investment schemes.

You are able to redeem your investment from the Fund at any time and there is no exit fee for doing so.

Foresight Group is the sub-investment manager and sub-distributor of the Liontrust Diversified Real Assets Fund (DRAF).

Our Investment Process

The Real Asset investment process will invest in a diverse range of assets (including investments in infrastructure, renewables. commodities, inflation linked assets and specialist property) that tend to exhibit lower levels of correlation with equity and bond markets. 
The asset classes and their relative weights are primarily selected on the basis of the consistency of investment returns and the risks related to each asset class. Investments within each asset class will be based on the strength and the stability of the issuer as well as the Investment Adviser’s expectations of their future prospects.
The Fund invests in both growth and defensive assets with the  allocations changing according to the view of the business cycle. A combination of quantitative and qualitative signals leans the Fund into areas of the market that provide the best risk adjusted outcomes.
The process selects securities with:

Real returns – cash flows directly or indirectly linked to inflation and benefit from secular trends 
Strong corporate fundamentals – transparent business models, appropriate leverage and high-quality management 
Dividend sustainability – a stable and/or growing dividend cover for income securities
Valuations – not overpaying for companies

The fund managers aim to ensure there is no single risk or factor that dominates the overall risk of the portfolio. The fund managers construct the portfolio to seek to deliver alternative sources of risk and returns from traditional equities and bonds. As a daily dealing alternative fund, maintaining a high liquid profile is essential. Individual holding weights are determined by both conviction and liquidity.

As a number of real assets provide critical infrastructure and/or essential services their earnings may be less exposed to the economic cycle versus traditional equities. But other subsectors such as commodities are more directly linked to the growth cycle. Some real asset sectors such as listed property companies (REITs) and infrastructure companies can be relatively more sensitive to interest rates.

KEY RISKS

Past performance does not predict future returns. You may get back less than you originally invested.

We recommend this fund is held long term (minimum period of 5 years). We recommend that you hold this fund as part of a diversified portfolio of investments.

  • Overseas investments may carry a higher currency risk. They are valued by reference to their local currency which may move up or down when compared to the currency of the Fund.
    Bonds are affected by changes in interest rates and their value and the income they generate can rise or fall as a result.
  • The creditworthiness of a bond issuer may also affect that bond's value. Bonds that produce a higher level of income usually also carry greater risk as such bond issuers (high yield) may have difficulty in paying their debts. The value of a bond would be significantly affected if the issuer either refused to pay or was unable to pay.
  • The Fund, may in certain circumstances, invest in derivatives but it is not intended that their use will materially affect volatility. Derivatives are used to protect against currencies, credit and interest rate moves or for investment purposes. The use of derivatives may create leverage or gearing resulting in potentially greater volatility or fluctuations in the net asset value of the Fund. A relatively small movement in the value of a derivative's underlying investment may have a larger impact, positive or negative, on the value of a fund than if the underlying investment was held instead. 
  • Correlation Risk - the Fund invests in alternative asset types that are expected to have low levels of correlation to equity and bond markets.
  • Liquidity Risk: as the Fund is primarily exposed to a diverified portfolio of real assets there may be liquidity constraints from time to time, i.e. in certain circumstances, the fund may not be able to sell a position for full value or at all in the short term. This may affect performance and could cause the fund to defer or suspend redemptions of its shares. In addition the spread between the price you buy and sell units will reflect the less liquid nature of the underlying holdings.
  • Credit Counterparty Risk: outside of normal conditions, the Fund may hold higher levels of cash which may be deposited with several credit counterparties (e.g.international banks). A credit risk arises should one or more of these counterparties be unable to return the deposited cash.
  • ESG Risk: there may be limitations to the availability, completeness or accuracy of ESG information from third-party providers, or inconsistencies in the consideration of ESG factors across different third party data providers, given the evolving nature of ESG.

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.
