We recently met with James Elliot and Shrenick Shah, portfolio managers of the Global Capital Appreciation Strategy. The investment process looks to identift the key macro-economic trends that drive markets and then exploit these through both market return (beta linked) and relative value strategies. In addition this is an inbuilt dynamic hedging strategy designed to protect the portfolio from specific macro-event risk. Thanks to the beta-linked returns the fund has the potential to deliver attractive absolute returns and has done so since the team took over.
