Fund
Man DNA is a global, multi-asset fund that invests in equity, bonds and alternatives (‘ALTs’). The Fund combines absolute return and long-only strategies, and discretionary and systematic approaches, in a single well-balanced fund. It targets a return of ‘’Adjusted SONIA’’ +4% gross over rolling three year periods, with an expected volatility of 6-8%.. ‘’Adjusted SONIA” refers to the Sterling Overnight Index Average rate (SONIA) administered by the Bank of England, to which a term adjustment (SONIA observed over a 3 month period and compounded in arrears daily during that period) and the additional "0.1193%" represents the industry fallback spread (reflecting the historical difference between to 3-month GBP LIBOR and SONIA) is applied.
Type of assets
Man DNA harnesses the best of Man Group in a single global multi-asset approach, actively allocating across equities, bonds and alternative strategies. The fund combines absolute return and long-only strategies and invests in bespoke strategies managed by specialist teams across Man Group. The fund aims to achieve its return objectives through multiple return drivers: traditional risk premia, alternative risk premia, security selection alpha and asset allocation alpha. Furthermore, the Man DNA strategy benefits from specialist tail hedging which seeks to mitigate significant downside as well as risk management at multiple levels. The fund actively allocates to equity, bonds and ALTs.
Benchmark degree of freedom
The Fund is actively managed. The fund targets Adjusted SONIA +4%. The performance benchmark (Adjusted SONIA + 4%) has been chosen on the basis that the Authorised Corporate Director, considers it sets a reasonable performance target for the Fund to achieve, taking into the investment strategy pursued by the Investment Adviser. Performance of the Fund can also be compared against the Investment Association’s Targeted Absolute Return sector.

The target benchmark ''Adjusted SONIA'' + 4% (gross of fees) has been chosen on the basis that the Authorised Corporate Director, considers it sets a reasonable performance target for the Fund to achieve, taking into the investment strategy pursued by the Investment Adviser.

Prior to investing in the Fund investors should carefully consider the risks associated with investing, whether the Fund suits their investment requirements and whether they have sufficient resources to bear any losses which may result from an investment in the Fund. Investors should only invest if they understand the terms on which the Fund is offered. Investors should consider the following risks and where appropriate seek professional advice before investing:
Investment Objective Risk - There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.
Market Risk - The Fund is subject to normal market fluctuations and the risks associated with investing in international securities markets. Therefore, the value of your investment and the income from it may rise as well as fall and you may not get back the amount originally invested.
Counterparty Risk - The Fund will be exposed to credit risk on counterparties with which it trades in relation to on-exchange traded instruments such as futures and options and where applicable, 'over-the-counter' ("OTC","non-exchange") transactions. OTC instruments may also be less liquid and are not afforded the same protections that may apply to participants trading instruments on an organised exchange.
Currency Risk - The value of investments designated in another currency may rise and fall due to exchange rate fluctuations. Adverse movements in currency exchange rates may result in a decrease in return and a loss of capital. It may not be possible or practicable to successfully hedge against the currency risk exposure in all circumstances.
Liquidity Risk - The Fund may make investments or hold trading positions in markets that are volatile and which may become illiquid. Timely and cost efficient sale of trading positions can be impaired by decreased trading volume and/or increased price volatility.
Financial Derivatives Instruments - The Fund will invest financial derivative instruments ("FDI") (instruments whose prices are dependent on one or more underlying asset) to achieve its investment objective. The use of FDI involves additional risks such as high sensitivity to price movements of the asset on which it is based. The extensive use of FDI may significantly multiply the gains or losses.
Leverage Risk - The Fund's use of FDI may result in increased leverage which may lead to significant losses.
Total Return - Whilst the Fund aims to provide capital growth, a positive return is not guaranteed over any time period and capital is in fact at risk.
Commodity risk - The Fund may have exposure to commodities, the value of which can be volatile may carry additional risk. Commodity prices can also be influenced by the prevailing political climate and government stability in commodity producing nations.
A complete description of risks is set out in the Fund's prospectus.
Model and Data Risk - The Investment Manager relies on quantitative trading models and data supplied by third parties. If models or data prove to be incorrect or incomplete, the Strategy may be exposed to potential losses. Models can be affected by unforeseen market disruptions and/or government or regulatory intervention, leading to potential losses.
