Convoy Fund:
The Convoy Fund is a global, multi-asset, passively managed strategy that is designed to deliver a consistent, high return in up or down markets. The goal of the fund is to accrue positive asset returns overtime while minimizing vulnerability to any one economic outcome. This is achieved through a deep, structural understanding of the drivers of asset losses, and then systematically balancing and diversifying the portfolio across those drivers. The convoy fund invests in almost 90 markets globally across many asset classes.
