Active Asset Allocation

The Active Asset Allocation Fund is an actively managed fund which aims to achieve growth through capital gains and income from a well-diversified portfolio of global equities, government bonds, property shares, cash and alternative assets. The alternative assets currently may include oil, gold, inflation-linked government bonds, water, soft commodities, industrial metals and corporate bonds. Many of the asset classes in this fund have historically had low correlations to movements in equity prices and hence are expected to dampen the volatility of the fund’s returns. Zurich Life’s award-winning team of fund managers actively manage the allocation between the different asset classes. This fund invests some of its assets outside the eurozone so a currency risk arises for a euro investor. As the fund is managed from the point of view of a euro investor any currency hedging that may be conducted will be into euros. This fund is managed by Zurich Life.
