* Built to perform in varying market conditions.
* Multi Asset Diversification benefits - Investment across three different asset classes with low correlation brings in distinctly different risk/ return characteristics.
* Gold’s low or inverse correlation with other major asset classes like equity and debt helps to improve, stabilise the risk/ return profile during declining financial markets and poor economic climates.
Fund Suitability:
* Investors looking for exposure to 3 major asset classes in a single fund.
* Conservative Investors who want an investment with the potential to add value in varying market conditions.
* Investors looking forward to enhancing returns, from their portfolio, to beat inflation.
* Retired persons, instead of making random withdrawals from their nest egg, can invest in MIP Plus to have a flexible and regular income stream.
