5 Star 5 Asia Pacific Fund
5★5 Asia Pacific Fund is an actively managed fund which aims to achieve growth through focusing on Zurich Life's strong sector and stock selection skills in the Asia Pacific region, normally holding up to fifty equities in five different sectors. The fund has a concentrated portfolio which leads to increased levels of stock specific risk. In the future, the sectoral and equity selection of the fund may be varied to avail of changing market dynamics and so enhance the performance of the fund. For tactical reasons, the fund may also invest in cash or cash equivalents. 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.
