What the provider says about this fund

The Shielded Growth Fund is suited to investors who seek potentially relatively high returns over longer term periods (seven years plus), allowing for short to medium term ups and downs, whilst partially shielding the fund against some of the more significant short-term risks. We aim to achieve this by investing predominantly in growth assets, with little or no allocation to income assets.
