12 How can downside protection work inside a fund? 1 Year Fund Launch: Fund NAV equal to the value of two assets: the investment strategy and protection component. Investment strategy Protection component Max NAV 2 Year Market Crash: Losses in the investment strategy are cushioned by the increasing value of the protection component (the ‘airbag’). Protection 3 Year Market Recovering: As the market recovers, the gains in the investment strategy cause the NAV to rise above the Protection level (no persistent ‘cash-lock’ experienced). 4 Year New Maximum NAV: Continued gains in the investment strategy lead to a new max NAV for the 80% Protected Fund; investors benefit from the increased protection level as a result.
