“Our funds are designed to challenge the status quo, because we want our investors to feel like the world is their oyster, that everything is possible.”
Kyle Hulett, Head of InvestmentsInvestment objective and strategy
The objective of the Sygnia Life Enhanced Income Fund is to outperform the returns on cash at a low level of volatility. The primary objective of this multi-asset portfolio is to produce a stable income stream by investing in a wide spread of income-bearing investments in the equity, bond, money market and real estate markets. By bridging the gap between money market and bond funds, investors gain access to term premium without taking on interest rate risk. Appointed external managers are mandated to assist in achieving the objectives of the portfolio, but the ongoing internal management of overall risk ensures diversification limits are always in place. This combination provides enhanced yield with reduced risk at a lower cost.
