NorthStar Safety Portfolio
Investment Objective
The NorthStar Safety Portfolio is suitable for investors who require extremely high capital security and wish to protect their investment from short-term market fluctuations. The portfolio is primarily constructed using fixed income, cash, commercial property and low-risk alternative investment strategies, meaning long-term returns may be lower than other portfolios in the NorthStar range to achieve the desired level of capital security.
This portfolio is not risk-free and investment in this portfolio should be seen as a long-term strategy. Risk aspects include inflation risk, shortfall risk and some exchange rate risk. The portfolio aims to provide significant downside protection, targets capital growth in excess of 3-4% per annum over a rolling 5-year period and is benchmarked against the IA Targeted Absolute Return sector average. Values may fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

FE Risk Score is a measure of volatility relative to the FTSE 100 index, which always has a score of 100. Investments more volatile than the FTSE 100 have a score above 100 and vice versa giving a reliable indication of relative risk. Cash has a risk score of zero.
