abrdn SICAV II - Global Risk Mitigation Fund, S Acc Hedged CHF/  LU2462143103  /

The objective of the Fund is to provide investors with a strategy that delivers strong positive returns when global equity markets experience material declines and volatility is high and costs comparable to, or less than other systematic derivative based hedging strategies such as rolling puts. The Fund aims to have a negative beta to equity markets. The nature of the strategy is expected to experience a degree of loss during periods when equity markets rise and experience low volatility. It is therefore intended to mitigate other investment exposures an investor may have in their overall portfolio. Invested capital is at risk and there is no guarantee that the objective will be attained over any time period. The Fund is actively managed and no benchmark is used for performance comparison or portfolio construction. The Fund: Will enter in one or more total return swap(s), to gain exposure to GRM strategies which will include investments in derivatives such as, but not exclusively, futures, options, credit swaptions, credit default swaps, forwards and UCITS eligible certificates which give exposure to commodity indices, to provide investors with returns linked to a diverse range of asset classes including equities, commodities, fixed interest securities and currencies. Will invest directly in money market instruments, which may include bank deposits, fixed or floating rate commercial paper, floating or variable rate notes, certificates of deposit, debentures and short-dated government or corporate bonds, cash or cash equivalents (including treasury bills) and undertakings of collective investment that are rated as investment grade, debt securities, including bonds, issued by governments, government related and corporate entities worldwide denominated in local currencies which may be fixed or floating rate.
