The Signature CIO Funds are a range of four carefully crafted investment funds that are guided by Standard Chartered’s expert Chief Investment Office (CIO) insights.

These funds offer a convenient way to grow your wealth by investing in portfolios, built with a combination of professionally managed funds or low-cost exchanged traded Funds (ETFs).

Every fund is globally diversified, and offer exposure to multiple asset classes, including Equities, Bonds, Commodities, Liquid Alternatives and Cash.

The benefits of the funds can be represented by three ‘A’s:

All-in-One: All the funds offer you gain diversified exposure across all major asset classes, including Equities, Fixed Income, Liquid Alternatives, Gold, Cash

There are four Signature CIO funds available for investment – each catering to different investor profiles and needs. Each fund is continuedly monitored and rebalanced by a team of investment experts:

Income Fund – Mainly invests in fixed income and dividend stocks, and aims to generate regular, attractive, monthly income.

Conservative Fund – Mainly invests in fixed income, prioritizing stability with modest capital growth.

Knowing the investment risks associated with each investment is important. When you invest in a unit trust, you should receive a factsheet and prospectus which details the risks involved. Some examples are (non-exhaustive):

 

Investment Risk – As with any investment, your investment value and dividends may go up, down or even be completely lost in extreme cases.

 

Foreign Exchange Risk – You should be aware that your investments can be negatively affected by foreign exchange risk if you hold unit trusts/ funds that invest in assets denominated in foreign currencies.

 

Potential Risks of Hedge Funds or Alternative Funds – These funds differ from traditional unit trusts in that they can undertake more risky investment strategies than traditional fund managers e.g. they may borrow to invest which can magnify potential losses.

 

Potential Risks of Derivatives (if applicable) – Unit trusts which invest in derivatives may have higher volatility. An investment in derivatives may result in losses that are greater than the principal amount invested. Derivatives are also subject to a number of risks including but not limited to liquidity, interest rate, market, counterparty and credit risk. It is important that you fully understand the nature and risk exposure before investing in derivatives.
