The diversification of markets and the management techniques employed make it ten-times less volatile than traditional management funds, and ensures an absolute performance for the investor. The shares' variations are independent from stock and bond market trends.
What are the primary goals of the collective investment Fund? To protect capital and generate consistent monthly earnings, superior to those earned by standard investments.
Only state of the art "alternative" management can achieve these goals.
The Fund is structured as a Fund of Funds (FOF), comprised of 20 diversified and complementary sub-funds invested on regulated markets and offering sufficient liquidity. Multi-management ensures the stability of investments.
The Trust invests exclusively in Funds regulated by OECD-member countries. The sub-funds that comprise the Absolute Return Fund Trust are complementary, original and, consequently, uncorrelated.
Managers simultaneously use most of the alternative techniques available (event driven, L/S equity, distressed, fixed income, global macro, arbitration, convertible, cross rates, etc.).
Many subscribers choose to invest or purchase shares via their bank, which attests to the credibility provided by financial establishments.
More than half the Fund's clients have reinvested at least once. During the last quarter, only 3% of investments were withdrawn.
The number of ARF Trust clients has increased by more than 50% in January 2009 compared to January 2008.
