Robeco Multi Factor Absolute Return Fund

Robeca has launched an absolute return fund - the Robeco Multi Factor Absolute Return Fund - to Australian retail investors.

The fund has a systematic absolute return strategy and invests in individual stocks, corporate bonds, equity index futures, bond futures, interest rate swaps, CDX contracts and currency forwards, across a wide range of markets.

Robeco says the fund aims to provide long term capital growth and low long-run correlation to the traditional asset classes in a risk-balanced and ESG-aware manner.

It has a minimum investment of $10,000 and a management fee of 0.78 per cent per annum of net asset value (NAV) of the fund plus indirect costs of 0.05 per cent per annum of NAV.
