MitonOptimal Launch Hedge Fund Model Portfolios
- MitonOptimal ASTUTE Guarded Model – focused on capital preservation whilst targeting a total return of CPI +4% after all fees. This model was created with the living annuity market in mind, especially those clients in the early years of retirement, where “sequence-of-returns” risk is at its highest.
- MitonOptimal ASTUTE Bold Model – focused on capital appreciation and looking to benefit from the underlying managers’ best ideas. This model will target all-out risk and is not for the faint-hearted.
