The Alpha Common Investment Funds are both managed by Sarasin & Partners.

Sarasin & Partners is an active investment manager, with experience across the full range of asset classes.

In addition to a thorough stock selection procedure, both Funds will benefit from active and dynamically managed asset allocation, within clearly defined parameters. While the “normal” asset mixes offer trustees a strong point of reference, bubbles do emerge in financial markets, and Sarasin & Partners will make use of the flexibility shown in the table below to protect capital, reduce volatility and enhance long-term returns.
