In their own words: "The Shielded Growth Fund invests predominantly in growth assets and uses options contracts to partially ‘shield’ the fund against (limit the impact of) more significant short-term downward movements of the value of the fund’s investments. It is suited to investors who are comfortable with a medium to high level of risk in order to potentially achieve relatively higher returns, but who are willing to forgo some return due to the cost of the options strategy."
