Accessing our investment strategies

Segregated portfolios

Our segregated portfolios are specifically designed for clients who have a minimum of £500,000 to invest, and can be denominated in sterling, dollar and euro. We will employ currency hedging to minimise the impact of fluctuations in exchange rates. With this service, a designated client portfolio is established which affords the investor a full 'look through' to the underlying funds used to construct the investment strategy. Our segregated portfolio is priced daily and clients can view their current investment position online.

Collective investment funds

The collective investment funds, known as the Nedgroup Investments MultiFunds plc, offer identical access to our investment strategies through the purchase of units in collective investment schemes. The Nedgroup Investments MultiFund is an open-ended investment company (OEIC) which is UCITS IV compliant, meaning it is highly regulated. The base currency of these funds is US dollar, ensuring access to the widest possible range of underlying investments. However, for sterling investors, there is a sterling share class which will be hedged in order to minimise the impact of fluctuations in the sterling/US dollar exchange rate.

Utilising this method of accessing our strategies may offer a number of advantages depending on your investment needs and tax position. These include a smaller initial investment requirement (minimum £7,500 or $10,000) and the facility to make regular top ups (minimum £3,000 or $5,000), which make this option suitable for long-term savings, such as pensions and ISAs. The collective investment funds solution may offer greater tax efficiency, particularly for UK residents, as capital gains arising within the fund do not give rise to any immediate personal tax liability.**

Investing in the collective solution may also offer a reduction in paperwork, alongside monthly reporting and published fund prices. The collective investment funds are priced weekly, and clients can view their funds online.
