The Absolute Insight UK Equity Market Neutral Fund uses the wider investment powers permitted under UCITS III regulations to invest both long and short in UK equities, while maintaining a neutral market exposure. It aims to seek a positive absolute return for investors regardless of the direction of the UK equity market.

We believe that our equity market neutral product combines the best elements of traditional investment management and the absolute return fund sector. We blend the positives of traditional management, such as regulation, transparency, low management costs and low key person risk, with the benefits of absolute return funds, such as low asset volatility, downside risk management and the intelligent use of derivatives.

In seeking opportunities to generate alpha, the fund managers follow a research-led investment process based on detailed fundamental analysis and regular contact with company management. They are able to draw on the expertise of a dedicated team of UK equity research analysts. Once an investment opportunity has been identified, a range of flexible investment strategies allow the managers to target the alpha while hedging out unwanted risk. The investment process combines three elements to achieve the Fund performance objectives – idea generation, focused research and precise implementation.
