Hedge & Absolute Return Factsheets

 

Our Hedge & Absolute Return funds have a slightly different factsheet due to the additional charges they are subjected to and they have long/short breakdown weightings.

Note: As some of the Hedge fund type features are being applied to the Absolute Return sector, the asset class for this sector is being generically resolved to Alternative Investment Strategies.

Hedge funds generally only price monthly (and many with a delay). Many are also private and hence don't give the disclosure that users may be used to.

The fund summary page shows information like,

  • Quick Stats (codes, ratings and latest price etc)

Note: You will receive a warning that you may need to use "Paste Special" to successfully paste the contents. This option may not be available in all programs and the example above was obtained by pasting the contents of the clipboard direct into Microsoft Word.
