Taking a Global Macro Perspective
Marketfield Asset Management takes a global macro perspective based on the Portfolio Managers' decades of investment management experience following global trends. The Portfolio Managers have a long history of anticipating and responding appropriately, as macroeconomic conditions evolve throughout cycles.
A Focus on Risk and Return
With an actively managed, flexible approach, the Fund invests in equity securities, fixed-income instruments, commodities, futures, options, and other investment companies, including ETFs. Additionally, the Fund may engage in short sales of securities to profit from an anticipated decline in the price of the security sold short for up to 50% of the Fund's net assets.
The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital above that of the broad equity market over a full market cycle, with volatility that is lower than that of the broad equity market.
