Investment Policy
Investment Policy
The Fund has a policy to primarily invest in units of a foreign collective investment scheme (the “Master Fund”) that focuses on equity securities and/or companies operating within the financial services sector. The Fund will invest, on average during an accounting year, not less than 80% of its Net Asset Value (“NAV”) in the Master Fund.
LH US Financial Fund will invest in units of the iShares U.S. Financial Services ETF (the “Master Fund”), denominated in U.S. dollars (“USD”) and listed on the NYSE Arca (New York Stock Exchange). The Master Fund is established in the United States of America and managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors (BFA).
The iShares U.S. Financial Services ETF seeks to track the investment results of the Dow Jones U.S. Financial Services Index (the “Reference Index”), which consists of securities classified within the financial services sector. The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in securities comprising the Reference Index, including companies operating in various financial services sub-sectors such as banks, asset managers, consumer finance, specialty finance, investment services, and mortgage finance.
The Reference Index comprises large- and mid-capitalization companies. The remaining portion, not exceeding 20% of the Fund’s assets, may be invested in futures contracts, options, certain swap agreements, cash and cash equivalents, money market funds advised by BFA or its affiliates, and securities not included in the Reference Index but which BFA believes will assist the Fund in closely tracking the performance of the Reference Index.
The Fund may invest in derivatives for efficient portfolio management (EPM) and/or for hedging foreign exchange rate risk, at the discretion of the Fund Manager. Such decisions will be based on prevailing market conditions and other relevant factors. The Fund may also invest in or hold structured notes and/or other assets or alternative income-generating investments as specified in the prospectus and/or as approved or prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Office of the SEC.
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its NAV in units of mutual funds, property funds, Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), or infrastructure funds managed by the Management Company.
The Management Company reserves the right to change the Fund’s classification and special characteristics in the future to a Fund of Funds, a fund directly investing in foreign securities and/or financial instruments, or to revert to a Feeder Fund structure, provided that such change does not increase the Fund’s overall risk spectrum. Any such change shall be made at the discretion of the Fund Manager, taking into consideration prevailing market conditions and acting in the best interests of unitholders.
The Management Company will provide unitholders with at least 30 days’ prior notice before implementing any such change by publishing an announcement on the Management Company’s website and the websites of the appointed selling and/or redemption agents (if any).
