Man OM-IP Essential is a capital guaranteed investment designed to diversify a traditional portfolio of stocks, property and bonds.

 

Features

Man OM-IP Essential is the 32nd OM-IP fund to be launched by Man Investments Australia. The Man OM-IP funds have between them almost A$7 billion under management (as at 29 February 2008). Man OM-IP Essential is a new capital guaranteed+ investment product that aims to achieve medium term capital growth* in both rising and falling markets. This aim is based on the past performance of the AHL Alpha Program, which forms the foundation of the Man OM-IP Essential investment strategy and has achieved a compound annual return of 17.1% since its inception in September 1995^. For the first time, Man OM-IP Essential offers investors the opportunity to combine an investment in the AHL Alpha Program exclusively with an investment in RMF LEAP, a complementary leading edge portfolio that focuses on new and innovative markets and strategies.

 

 

 

Key Benefits

Performance - Aims to generate medium term capital growth* in both rising and falling markets by harnessing the performance of two complementary investment approaches.

 

Security - The NAB Guarantee issued by National Australia Bank provides Shareholders on the Maturity Date with a capital guarantee to protect their initial investment and a rising guarantee to lock in a portion of any net new trading profits for each Share held on the Maturity Date (31 August 2015)+.

 

Diversification - The AHL Alpha Program accesses over 120 international markets and RMF LEAP invests in eight different strategies and accesses over 90 managers. By harnessing the complementary approaches of the AHL Alpha Program and RMF LEAP, Man OM-IP Essential may provide investors with an opportunity to diversify a traditional portfolio of stocks, property and bonds^.
