Active ETFs: Unleash Innovation and Potential
ETFs are generally low-cost and user-friendly, but by incorporating active management, they can offer even greater advantages. Discover why active ETFs are becoming a crucial element in investors' portfolios.
Adopt a Comprehensive Portfolio Approach
Multi-asset funds offer versatility by exploring a wide investment universe for opportunities. They invest flexibly across various asset classes, including stocks, bonds, cash, and alternatives.
Every investor has a unique story, and we are committed partners to our clients by actively listening to each one. Our comprehensive range of funds is one way we support more investors in building secure financial futures.
High-Growth Potential with Exposure to Innovation
As the financial landscape rapidly evolves, digital assets like cryptocurrencies are gaining more investor interest. This asset class has a unique risk profile compared to stocks and bonds, providing potential diversification benefits.
Bank Accounts Aren’t the Only Option
If you're seeking higher returns on deposits than a typical bank account offers, cash funds could be worth considering. These funds often invest in very short-term bonds, known as 'money market instruments,' which involve banks lending money to each other.
Broad Exposure to a Wide Range of Opportunities
Commodity funds provide access to a diverse mix of investments, including precious metals like gold and silver, energy resources such as oil and natural gas, and agricultural goods like wheat. These funds can offer investors potential benefits like portfolio diversification and protection against inflation.
Investing in Shares for the Long Term
When you purchase stocks, or equities, you acquire a stake in a company and become a shareholder. Equities are generally suited for long-term investments, ideal for those who can endure market fluctuations in pursuit of higher returns.
Pursuing Stable, Lower-Risk Returns
Bonds, or fixed income securities, are issued by companies and governments to raise funds. Essentially, they are an 'I.O.U' that provides a regular income stream, usually a fixed amount, over a specified period.
Diversifying Your Portfolio
A multi-asset strategy blends various asset types—such as stocks, bonds, real estate, and cash—to build a more agile and well-diversified portfolio. Fund managers adjust the mix of assets to meet specific investment goals.
Driven by the Quest for Additional Returns
Unlike traditional assets like stocks and bonds, which are traded on public markets, alternative investments such as real estate are less influenced by global market fluctuations. Increasingly, investors are turning to these alternatives to better achieve their financial goals.

Investing carries inherent risks, including the potential loss of your initial investment.
Investments in commodity-related companies can lead to increased volatility. The value of these investments may be affected by factors beyond the Fund’s control, such as weather conditions, climate change, livestock diseases, geopolitical events, economic shifts, interest rates, currency fluctuations, and government policies. Commodity futures trading can also be illiquid, and market disruptions may negatively impact the Fund’s value.
Funds focused on specific industries, sectors, markets, or asset classes may experience higher volatility or underperformance compared to more diversified investments or the broader securities market.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are subject to economic changes, credit risks, and interest rate variations.
International investments involve risks such as foreign currency fluctuations, limited liquidity, less regulatory oversight, and the potential for significant volatility due to political, economic, or other global developments. These risks can be more pronounced in emerging or developing markets, or when investments are concentrated in a single country.
