IMPORTANT NOTE; The Fund has not been risk rated by either Dynamic Planner or Defaqto. The nature of the fund means that neither risk rating agency can provide a risk rating. The analysis below is based on publicly available information about the volatility ranges that each firm uses to rate funds. However, we do not know how either firm calculates the volatility of a fund.
Fund volatility is calculated using process defined by regulators for the KIID and KID. This volatility can be used to illustrate the fund risk ranking using the Dynamic Planner and Defaqto risk scales.

In normal market conditions exposure is expected to be between 4% and 6%

When markets fall, volatility tends to increase and exposure will rise so the volatility of the fund will rise to be too high
