The Real Return Fund

The Castlefield Real Return fund focuses on achieving consistent, low-volatility returns.

  • Home
  • Our Funds
  • Real Return Fund

About the Fund

The Real Return fund aims to deliver returns to investors in excess of UK inflation over a rolling three-year time horizon. It aims to provide returns broadly consistent with those you’d expect to see from a pool of “real” (inflation protected) assets but with a level of volatility (day to day price swings) more in line with typically less volatile fixed income investments.

In this way, we aim to meet the long-term needs of those investors who’re conscious of the tendency of inflation to erode the value of their capital over time, but who’re also generally unwilling or unable to accept the volatility that traditionally goes hand in hand with investing in the likes of global stockmarkets.

By providing a low-volatility approach as a means of accessing these returns, we’re not only aiming to maximise long-term returns to investors, but we’re also aiming to reduce the risks around picking the precise moment to invest into or withdraw money from a fund.

Low Volatility

Providing lower volatility for long-term returns.

The Fund Process

In order to achieve this, the portfolio provides access to a wide range of investment classes including structured products, infrastructure and commodities as well as investments in the fixed income sector, including unrated bonds, floating rate debt and senior loans.

In this way, we feel we are able to meet the long term needs of those investors who are conscious of the effects of inflation eroding the value of their investments, but who are generally unwilling or unable to accept the volatility that traditionally goes hand in hand with investing in global equity markets.

Why the Real Return Fund?

By providing a low-volatility vehicle to access these returns, we are able to maximise long-term returns to investors. We can also substantially reduce the risks around timing an investment into or withdrawal from the fund.

Mark Elliott, The Fund Manager

I was one of the founding members of the Castlefield investment management business, having previously worked with the rest of the team within the institutional investment and fund management division of private bank, Brown Shipley.

After taking something of a leap into the unknown, the business continues to grow rapidly. In addition to managing segregated accounts for the firm’s discretionary clients, I’m also the long-standing lead manager of the UK Opportunities Fund and the Real Return Fund.

The value of investments, and the income from them, can go down as well as up, and you may not recover the amount of your original investment. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. Where an investment involves exposure to a foreign currency, changes in rates of exchange may cause the value of the investment, and the income from it, to go up or down. in the case of some investments, you should be aware that there is no recognised market for them, and that it may be therefore be difficult for you to deal in them or for you to obtain reliable information about their value or the extent of the risks to which they are exposed. Certain investments carry a higher degree of risk than others and are, therefore, unsuitable for some investors.
