Lunar BCI Worldwide Flexible Fund
The Lunar BCI Worldwide Flexible Fund is an open-end fund based in South Africa with a global reach. The fund’s primary objective is to explore both local and international investment opportunities in order to achieve substantial long-term returns for its investors.
“Growth at a Reasonable Price” is our investment motto. We believe that technology and innovation are key growth drivers. We seek out businesses that have developed or utilised technology for competitive advantages and invest in them; provided they are reasonably priced. Investing comes with risk and thus it is important to have an appropriate risk to reward proposition in our investment portfolios. Our Offshore Portfolio Management service is guided by Model Portfolios that are balanced between Large Market Capitalisation blue chip companies, innovative technology companies, thematic exchange traded funds and cash and bonds. These are weighted according to our view of risks and opportunities.

In turn the expected volatility is higher than a medium risk portfolio, but less than a high-risk portfolio. The probability of losses is higher than that of a medium risk portfolio, but less than a high-risk portfolio and the expected potential long term investment returns could therefore be higher than a medium risk portfolio.
• Where the asset allocation contained in this MDD reflects offshore exposure, the portfolio is exposed to currency risks.
• The portfolio is exposed to equity as well as default and interest rate risks.
• Therefore, it is suitable for medium to long term investment horizons
