Acorn Life Diversified Multi-Manager

The Diversified Multi-Manager Fund generally holds a diversified mix of equities as its largest asset exposure, with a significant allocation to fixed income assets such as corporate and government bonds. It also invests smaller amounts in property-related assets and alternatives, and it may hold cash temporarily for portfolio management. This diversified approach means the fund spreads money across different asset types rather than relying on just one.

The Diversified Multi-Manager Fund is potentially suitable for investors who can accept a medium level of risk in exchange for the prospect of a higher expected return over the medium to long term. The fund’s recommended investment horizon is at least 7 years. It may appeal to investors looking for a balanced mix of growth and income-oriented assets within a single fund.

The Diversified Multi-Manager Fund is implemented through an arrangement between Acorn Life DAC and Mercer Global Investments Europe Limited. Mercer selects and monitors third-party investment managers on behalf of the fund, which adds an extra layer of active oversight. Mercer Global Investments Europe Limited is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland.

The Diversified Multi-Manager Fund is classified as a medium risk fund, and its key risks are market risk and currency risk. Market risk means the value of investments can rise or fall because of broader market movements, while currency risk means returns can be affected when investments are held in or exposed to different currencies. The fund’s diversified holdings may help reduce risk, but they do not remove it.
