Darling Macro Fund
Introduction
The Investment Manager pursues a global macro strategy for the Darling Macro Fund, which aims to dynamically allocate long and short exposure across many liquid markets within 4 major global asset classes: Equities, Bonds, Commodities and Currencies.
Objectives
The objectives of the Darling Macro Fund are to generate risk adjusted positive returns over the medium to long term, which are less correlated to the movements in core equity and bond allocations.
The Fund is aiming to achieve:
-
A return of 9 % net of costs p.a. in excess of the Australian cash rate over a rolling 5-year period, as measured by the RBA Cash Rate.
-
Annual volatility measured over the same 5-year rolling period is expected to be 15 % pa.
-
Materially lower drawdown risk than equities over the medium term.
-
Low to moderate correlation to a strategic asset allocation of equities and bonds (70:30) over the medium term.
-
Easily observable valuations and high liquidity.
There can be no assurance, however, that these objectives or returns can be achieved.
