Schroder ISF Multi-Asset Growth and Income

In the face of an ever-changing environment, as we try to block out short-term market noise, there are high-growth opportunities to be unearthed in the long run.

The fund endeavors to capture some of the most exciting growth opportunities through investing in carefully selected asset classes worldwide, aiming to provide equity-like returns with lower volatility. It has a strong focus on key structural themes, blending both top-down cyclical themes (such as interest rate persistence), with secular themes (such as automation and healthcare innovation), that we believe will be critical growth drivers over the next three to five years.

With inflation likely to prove more enduring than the past decade, driven by a number of structural factors, investors need to carefully consider how to protect their purchasing power. A strong and stable income stream can be generated from a well-diversified portfolio, along with some capital growth.

The fund derives its income from multiple sources. The fund offers a dividend pay-out of 10% per annum* (Applicable to A Dis share classes USD MF2. Dividend may be paid out of capital.). Not only does it cater to investors' interests for high pay-out and sustainable cash flow, but it also provides a range of distribution options to meet different needs.

^{*Applicable to A Dis share classes USD MF2. Dividend may be paid out of capital. For distribution share classes/units, the distribution rate is not guaranteed. Distribution yield is not indicative of the return of the fund. Distributions maybe paid out of the capital of the fund at the Manager’s discretion. This amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of the amount you originally invested or capital gains attributable to that and may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value per share or decrease in the value of units of the relevant Distribution Units.}

The fund is simply structured with three core growth and income engines: thematic growth (global equities), resilient income and the convertible anchor. The ability to allocate dynamically between and within these engines provides the flexibility to capture rapidly changing opportunities across the global universe.

Additionally, our resilient income component has the flexibility to include allocations to emerging market debt, securitised debt or insurance-linked securities, alongside high yielding bonds, boosting the opportunity set.

Building a geographically diversified portfolio can take advantage of changing opportunities across countries and sectors, and minimise the impact of market volatility in turbulent times.

The fund is able to invest without boundaries, capitalising on opportunities in all regions across the capital structure, be it stocks, bonds or convertible bonds, enabling highly selective exposure.

When the crowd is moving towards irrational exuberance or hysteria, it is often the best time to turn crisis into opportunity through uncovering underperforming companies with underlying value.

Our approach places valuations at the centre of the investment process, considering valuations within the context of realistic growth prospects.
