    Fund facts

    Fund manager

    Tony Lanning

    Tony Lanning

    Tony joined Henderson in 2011 as Director of Multi-Manager. Previously, Tony worked for Gartmore since November 2007 and was Head of the Multi-Manager team responsible for Absolute Return, Cautious, Balanced and Active mandates. He also sat on the asset allocation committee for Gartmore's Balanced and Managed Pension Accounts. Before joining Gartmore he was Head of Collectives Research at the Private Bank, Arbuthnot Latham and Co. He has over 18 years investment experience, specialising in investment in collective investment schemes.

    Investment objective

    The fund aims to provide a positive return over the long term, whether markets go up or down, by investing in a range of collective investment schemes. These other schemes can invest in any country. The fund aims to typically deliver absolute (more than zero) returns in each year, although an absolute return performance is not guaranteed. Over the short term it may experience periods of negative returns so the fund may not achieve this objective.
