Standard Life Investments' new Global Absolute Return Strategies Fund (GARS)

Exclusive - Available from Standard Life only*

Standard Life Investments' new GARS Fund aims to deliver investors consistent positive returns in a variety of market conditions. Traditional investment funds tend to reward investors only when markets go up and penalise them when markets fall. GARS has been specifically designed to achieve consistent returns but with less risk than investing in equities.

What type of investors might GARS suit?

• Investors looking to form the core element of a portfolio or diversify an existing portfolio
• Investors seeking to invest in an absolute return strategy and benefit from daily pricing and liquidity, transparency, low minimum investment and a competitive AMC
• Investors who are largely risk averse but are not content with the long term returns normally available from deposit accounts.

It may not suit investors who:

• Do not wish to take any risk with their capital
• Do not wish to invest in a fund that uses financial derivatives
• Have less than a five year time span

*The 'insured' versions of the fund are currently available only on Standard Life's Life & Pensions products.

The underlying fund is a Unit Trust.

Where can I find out more?

Your Account Manager can provide you with full details of the fund.

• You can also go to the GARS section of Standard Life Investments' website for the full story - www.standardlifeinvestments.co.uk/gars.
• Tell me more about Absolute Return Funds in general.
