Initial investment $10,000 or $1,000 when a Regular Savings Plan is established.
Investment strategy

The Fund adopts Ardea IM’s specialised and highly differentiated pure relative value investing approach to target consistent low volatility returns irrespective of whether bond yields are high or low and regardless of whether interest rates are rising or falling. This approach focuses on delivering consistent volatility-controlled returns to strictly limit performance volatility and prioritise capital preservation, irrespective of the market environment.

Investment approach

The investment approach is based on generating returns from relative value strategies that aim to exploit mispricing between comparable fixed income securities which are related to each other and have similar risk characteristics but are priced differently. Ardea IM believes this type of mispricing exists because fixed income markets are inefficient.

The Fund focuses on delivering consistent, stable returns in order to limit performance volatility and prioritise capital preservation, irrespective of the market environment. 

Investment universe

The Fund invests across the largest and most liquid segments of global fixed income markets, primarily comprising highly liquid government bonds with strong credit ratings and related liquid interest rate derivatives. The Fund intentionally excludes any investment that carries material credit or liquidity risk, such as corporate bonds and lower quality government securities.
