DIVERSIFICATION



Aria Protected Funds offer a range of diversification benefits for all investment portfolios.


Most investment portfolios are heavily weighted towards domestic equities, cash and property. The rationale behind this is quite clear as these are the most familiar and tangible asset classes: your bank; your home (and your other property purchases); companies you know and see or read about every day.


However, this is not building a well-diversified portfolio. If you have added some US and European equities and perhaps even Japan, you are at least no longer dependent on the fortunes of your own country. However, the reality is that the correlation of the major equity markets is quite close. So, the alternative to assembling a wide-ranging portfolio of markets and asset classes (with all the cost-layering involved) is to use a structured and diversified basket of assets, OR to stay the course but add more cost-effective diversification where the risks of currency and volatility are removed.


Diversified Asset Baskets

A well-constructured diversified fund includes the principles of global diversification within its asset strategy. One of the primary objectives of the Fund is to provide exposure to asset classes which are very difficult to access or very expensive. Most importantly, these asset classes, wherever possible, will use either indices, benchmark funds, or institutional structures to deliver their potential returns for the lowest possible cost. The potential benefit to investors is that they are paying very little for a diversified basket of asset classes which in most cases will complement an existing portfolio.


Plug&Play Asset Classes

This feature is designed to enhance an existing portfolio's diversification through the addition of an entire asset class in one go: not a "one-stop shop", but more of an easy add-on to most investor portfolios. Absolute Income Protected Fund offers this solutions for those who wish to expand the breadth of their investment portfolio rather than re-structure completely.
