The Fund aims to provide investment growth, consistent with a defensive risk and volatility profile, over the long term (5 years or more). The Fund invests at least 70% of its assets in a portfolio of collective investment schemes (which could include open and closed ended investment schemes, real estate investment trusts, exchange traded funds, and these could include other schemes operated by Columbia Threadneedle Investments), which provide indirect exposure to a range of global asset classes.
