How does the Multi Strategy Fund work?
The Multi Strategy Fund offers a choice of strategies for growing your money long term, and the flexibility to switch between different strategies to suit your circumstances.
Strategies are available in sterling or US dollars. The minimum lump sum investment is £10,000 (or US dollar equivalent). You can invest as little as £100 or $200 per month with our regular savings plan.
You can check your investment value online at any time with our online portfolio service. You'll also receive a paper statement every 6 months.
Whenever you want to access your money, just sell some or all of your shares in the Fund — there are no penalty fees.
We have a dedicated call centre where you can speak directly to a fund representative.

Who is the Multi Strategy Fund not for?
The Multi Strategy Fund is not the right choice if:
- you need a regular income: if you need an income from your investment, for example to supplement a pension, take a look at our income funds.
- you're looking for a smaller investment: if you don't want to invest a minimum of £10,000 or £100 per month, select a fund that suits you using our Savings and Investments Finder.

It should be remembered that the value of shares and the income from them can go down as well as up and cannot be guaranteed. The funds and fund managers utilised within each Strategy may vary and full details are available within the prospectus. Much of the growth in the value of the Cautious, Conservative and Balanced Strategies will be achieved through the generation of income, which will be distributed to shareholders and reinvested.
An investment in a currency other than the shareholder's own base currency or in a fund that invests in securities denominated in currencies other than its base currency will be subject to the movements of foreign exchange rates, which may cause an additional favourable or unfavourable change in value. Consequently, investors may, on selling their shares, receive an amount greater or less than their original investment.
