The Smartfund range from Praemium:
Smartfund 80% Protected
For those who prefer more security for their investments, Praemium offer a capital-protected range.
The funds are made up of two parts: the protection component provided by Morgan Stanley, and the risk-graded strategy managed by Smartim.
Both funds are designed to allow you to grow your capital, but the investment journey will be different for each fund as markets rise and fall.
Investing in Smartfund may afford you a slightly better return in the long term whilst an investment in Smartfund 80% Protected will protect you from the worst of the stock market waves along the way.
You choose which is the right route for you.
An investment in any of the Smartfunds carries a number of investment considerations and risks.
Here's a summary: -
Risk of partial loss of capital, market risk, currency risk and counterparty risk.
• Smartfund 80% Protected - offers 80% capital protection, therefore in extreme market conditions the value of your investment can go down by 20%.
• Morgan Stanley provides the protection component of Smartfund 80% Protected and acts as counterparty to the fund, so if Morgan Stanley becomes insolvent, the protection component may fail.
• The value of each Smartfund may be affected by various market risks including interest rate risk, inflation risk, exchange rate risk and the risk that the strategy managed by Smartim will under-perform its benchmark.
• Fundlogic SAS will seek to hedge the share classes of the funds to counteract the impact of currency fluctuations. In extreme situations the investment manager may not be successful in protecting against all exchange-rate risk, which may result in the capital protection, of Smartfund 80% Protected, being less than 80% of the NAV for the USD and EUR share classes.
Praemium delivers so much more than a state-of-the-art platform.
This is a popular platform for intermediaries and will likely become increasingly used by traditional IFAs who seek to disintermediate from the offshore insurance companies and offer their clients a better option.
