First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) has announced the launch of a multiple-thematic fund – FAB Thematic Rotation Fund.
It will be launched under FAB’s ‘OneShare PLC’ umbrella fund, which is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland.
Thematic funds – a new trend among issuers and investors – enable dynamic rotation across themes and asset classes over time to adapt to different market conditions.
The bank said through its latest fund, investors will have access to global investment opportunities across themes and trends arising from long-term structural changes.
FAB said its thematic rotation fund would invest beyond traditional geographical, sector, and style boundaries to capture global growth opportunities from investment themes across various asset classes.
Investors will be able to access multiple investment themes focused on innovation and long-term growth, while seeking to maximise diversification.
Based on a combined systematic and disciplined discretionary approach, the portfolio construction process leverages the diversification, liquidity and transparency benefits of cross-asset thematic exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Gerardo Amo, managing director and head of products and solutions Switzerland at FAB, said the bank’s thematic rotation fund benefitted from a strong ETF selection process along a dynamic theme allocation model, based on deep research by a highly experienced investment team.
Samira Zakour, managing director and head of private banking and KCG at FAB, said this [the new fund] was an exciting opportunity for investors to stay ahead of the social, environmental and economic curve and to enjoy access to the trends of tomorrow.
