Capital Stable Investment Strategy
Capital Stable is a low risk diversified strategy designed to achieve an attractive level of income combined with some capital growth over the medium to long term. The mix between "growth" and "defensive" assets will be approximately 25/75 over time. Although the portfolio is well diversified and soundly managed, returns will be subject to market variations and there is a small risk that the value of the portfolio may fall. Accordingly, you may invest using this Strategy if you have an investment time horizon of greater than two years.
