The fund aims to provide capital appreciation by investing in securities exhibiting exposures to (i) value, (ii) momentum, (iii) quality, and (iv) low volatility. Being actively managed, AFSM is able to provide flexibility to alter the investing factors used in the portfolio construction in response to changes in market conditions, emergent academic research or other considerations, in addition to managing risk exposure.
