Zest Derivatives Allocation R Cap CHF

Objectives and investment policy The Sub-Fund aims to seek a consistent, absolute return while placing emphasis on the preservation of capital in the medium to long term. The use of financial derivative instruments (including but not limited to futures and call and put options), will be mostly used to reduce the risk.
