Fund Details
Investment Thesis
ACWV answers one question: what if you owned the whole world but engineered out as much turbulence as an equity fund can? The optimiser blends low-vol stocks AND low correlations across every market, historically capturing most of global equity's return with two-thirds of its drawdowns. The modest +6% year is the strategy being itself in a momentum market — the payoff arrives in the storms.
Who It's For
One-fund defensive investors and retirees who want global equities they won't sell in a panic. The whole-world version of USMV already in the portal.
