CT Sustainable Universal MAP Cautious

The CT Sustainable Universal MAP Cautious fund is an actively managed multi-asset fund, designed to provide consistent long-term capital growth by using a cautious risk approach.

The fund is part of the CT Sustainable Universal MAP range, which combines the firm’s expertise in multi-asset active management and responsible investing. The underlying holdings of these globally diversified portfolios could include collective investments, direct equities, government and non-government fixed income securities as well as some alternatives and derivatives. Along with avoiding damaging or unsustainable practices the fund focuses on companies making a positive difference to the world we live in.  

Managed by the highly experienced and well-resourced team at CT, the range stands out with a clear and well-defined investment process. Although launched in December 2019, the team has a successful long-term track record of producing strong risk adjusted returns in running multi-asset ESG products since the launch of the Friends Life Stewardship Managed Fund in 1998. With an ongoing charge of just 0.35%, these funds are the ultimate, globally diversified one stop shop for active management.
