Friends Provident has reported that the 80% Global Growth Protector Fund seeks to generate unlimited returns from a dynamically managed basket of equity assets whilst simultaneously offering an explicit protection level against down side risk, using fixed interest and deposit investments.

The fund is backed by the combination of BlackRock and HSBC and provides an exciting combination of growth and protection with a high emphasis on the developing equity markets.

According to Friends Provident, The fund has an initial bias towards the Asian-Pacific region or asset classes/sectors benefiting from the Asian growth story, making this an ideal investment for clients who want to share in the dynamic growth potential of the region. The remainder is diversified globally in more developed markets.
