In their own words

"We aim to achieve positive long-term returns by choosing a lesser exposure to cash and fixed interest investments and a greater exposure to equity and property investments. Investors can expect moderate to high levels of movement up and down in value and to receive longer-term returns that are higher than those of Summer Balanced Selection."
