Concept K – alternative investing with a unique strategy

Friends First Concept K offers a solution to getting the balance right between maximising returns for a given level of risk.  The fund aims to produce long-term growth and produce a return for investors by investing across many different markets. An award winning team of dedicated multi-asset specialists, Deutsche Asset Management, ensure the fund is managed in a way that strategic and tactical ideas can be implemented quickly and efficiently.

Broadly speaking, alternatives are investments in assets other than stocks, bonds and cash or investments using strategies that go beyond traditional ways of investing, such as long/short or arbitrage strategies. Because alternatives tend to behave differently than stocks and bonds, adding them to your portfolio can offer scope for broader diversification and the potential to hedge against market volatility, reduce risk and enhance returns.

Key points to note

• Concept K is a fund that follows a Global Macro Strategy, meaning the strategy is based on the interpretation and prediction of large-scale events related to economies, such as political events, commodity shortages, etc.
• The fund follows a Multi Asset approach, meaning it is free to invest across a number of asset classes.
• It is also unconstrained, meaning that it does not adhere to a specific benchmark and is focused on providing a return.

When compared against competing funds with alternative investment strategies Concept K comes out on top.
