Rubicon Global Fund (Wholesale) - Managed Fund (Closed)

Fund Objective
The Rubicon Global Fund seeks to provide investors with attractive income while reducing the volatility of investing in global equities and the consequential risk of capital loss over any 12 month timeframe. The Manager seeks to achieve this objective primarily by investing in global stocks with a high dividend yield and lower than average correlation with global equity markets, combined with active hedging of foreign currency risk.
Fund Strategy
The Fund employs a long/short equity investment strategy, with a bias towards high net market exposure. At the heart of the investment strategy is a fundamental stock selection methodology under which the Investment Adviser seeks to identify global stocks that have high dividend yields and sound financial positions. These stocks tend to have a lower than market average correlation with their respective market indices.
