How does a Fusion Fund investment work?
After choosing the Fusion Fund(s) that best suits your investment objectives, your initial investment is split between units in an Equity Trust (99.99%) investing in your chosen underlying managed fund(s) with the remaining in a Cash Trust. Your investment will be managed using a specialist technique known as Threshold Management.
Threshold Management aims to ensure that the value of your Fusion Fund investment at the expiry of the Threshold Management Period is at least equal to your initial investment amount.
100% capital protection at Maturity is available through the purchase of a Put Option. If the value of your units in a Fusion Fund meets a Profit Trigger on annual review, your Put Option will automatically provide capital protection to a New Protected Amount, locking in any profits above 100% of your initial Investment Amount in that Fusion Fund.
