Capital International targets absolute returns through broad asset class diversification via collective investments
In more detail Seeking Absolute Returns Above all seeks to achieve absolute returns and the management of absolute portfolio risk. Relative performance comparisons are of little importance to us and indeed, we believe often lead to irrational decision making. If we do not believe an investment can achieve a respectable return over a one year time horizon, we simply will not own it. Target Returns (Net) Volatility Ranges Income Alpha Plus 6%-8% 7%-9% 9%-11% 5%-8% 7%-11% 9%-13% Broad Asset Class Diversification invests in a broad range of asset classes, introducing a large number of independent sources of return and risk. Portfolio theory and statistical analysis demonstrate that this approach can deliver performance with significantly reduced volatility, when compared to a traditional balanced investment approach. Dynamically Managed uses a highly flexible approach to asset allocation, designed to exploit macro trends by significantly tilting the exposure of a portfolio to each asset class, region, sector or theme throughout the investment cycle to maximise potential returns and protect from market volatility.
