NorthStar Dynamic Growth Portfolio
Investment Objective
The NorthStar Dynamic Growth Portfolio is suitable for investors who are seeking strong capital growth and are prepared to accept some large short-term fluctuation in order to achieve this aim. The portfolio is constructed using a broad range of assets which may include equities, fixed income, property, infrastructure, alternative investments and cash. Equity content will typically be around 90%, meaning the portfolio will exhibit considerable downside risk to achieve the required level of capital growth.
Due to the nature of underlying holdings, investment in this portfolio should be seen as a long-term strategy. Risk aspects include inflation risk, capital risk, shortfall risk, and exchange rate risk. The portfolio targets capital growth in excess of 6-7% per annum over a rolling 5-year period and is benchmarked against the IA Flexible Investment sector average. Values may fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the amount originally invested.
