DISTRIBUTOR'S OVERVIEW
The CF ARCH cru Investment Funds umbrella was established in 2006 to provide access to multi-asset absolute return investment, for both retail and institutional investors. These multi-asset diversified funds provide investors with exposure to asset types such as Private Finance (PF), Private Equity (PE), Sustainable Opportunities (SO), Natural Resources (NR) and Real Estate (RE) and, consequently, greater portfolio diversification opportunities.
The CF ARCH cru Diversified Funds umbrella was established to provide retail and institutional investors access to multi-asset absolute return investment. CF ARCH cru Diversified Funds is the new name for the Insinger de Beaufort ICVC, which ARCH acquired in late September 2007. There are four main portfolios run under the umbrella – the Income Fund, Balanced Fund, Global Growth Fund and the Finance Fund.
Following the global financial crisis, these multi-asset diversified funds are no longer able to satisfy the liquidity requirements to remain as daily dealt open-end NURS (Non-UCITS Retail Schemes). They are now in the process of being wound down by the Authorised Corporate Director over the next three to five years.
ARCH Guernsey ICC was established in late 2006 as ARCH's umbrella fund platform domiciled in the Channel Islands. Under the umbrella is a range of listed investment companies providing access to specialised investment portfolios. They provide a cost-efficient entry point to a wide range of investment possibilities, from highly diversified multi-asset portfolios to specific portfolios of absolute return or structured finance investments. Asset, risk and strategy allocations are dynamically adjusted over time to account for changing financial market conditions and economic regimes.
ARCH Multi-Strategy ICC was established in late 2007 and is an open-end umbrella fund domiciled in the Channel Islands, through which open-ended access to the ARCH investment portfolio range can be obtained. The first investment company was ARCH Private Finance Strategies IC Ltd, providing access to a wide range of private finance investment possibilities.
In addition to the Fund umbrellas, investment alternatives may be structured with the objective of improving the overall return, tax treatment or to reduce specific risks. All structured investments are subject to aggregate minimum size requirements.
