Price (Acc)
These are the shares in the fund that don’t pay out an income to clients. Any dividends – the money a company can pay out to its investors – are reinvested into companies in the fund. Despite no income, the shares should be worth more over time. Good incentive, eh?

Yield
How much the fund is currently paying out in income to investors. It’s NOT to be confused with the overall growth of a fund – a very different thing indeed. It’s also NOT a guarantee of future pay-outs, just a snapshot. This is more what it’s not than what it is…

Investment process
The Premier Alternative Strategies Fund aims to provide long term capital appreciation by mainly investing in structured products. This is a diversified fund investing predominately in structured products from a broad range of good quality counterparties. The managers invest in structured products offering either a defined or superior return relative to an index or benchmark. In many cases no market movement will be required for the products to perform and many of the products will have high soft protection levels. The Fund also invests in absolute return funds which have the ability to perform well in declining market conditions.

About the MRI
Our unique indicator: the Bestinvest Manager Record Index (MRI) measures the likelihood that the fund manager is adding value through their decisions. It is based on their performance record over the course of their career, adjusted for the amount of risk taken. MRI is an important contributor to our fund rating system but it is also vital to take account of qualitative factors. It is also very important to select funds to form a cohesive portfolio with an appropriate overall risk level.
