The investment
managers selected for this portfolio follow a Value style of
investing. They typically invest in shares that trade at
price:earnings (p:e) multiples lower than the rest of the shares in
the market, and/or shares that trade at a discount to the net asset
value of the company. Further diversification is achieved by selecting
Core Value as well as Relative Value style managers. The portfolio has
been constructed to provide the investor with lower volatility of
returns than those of single-manager portfolios that also follow a
Value style. |
