Multi Asset F - Global Opportunities
as at 30 June 2017
Investment Objective
Portfolio Details
The investment objective of the Parallel Global Opportunities Portfolio is to achieve
capital growth over the medium to long term (5-10 years). The Portfolio offers
exposure to a range of collective investments providing diversity across regions and
sectors, with a significant bias towards equity holdings which could account for
100%. In seeking to maximise returns the Portfolio may also include exposure to some
specialist or thematic collective investments which can display heightened volatility,
and so investors should ensure that they understand the risks involved.

Performance Measurement
Contact Information:
A benchmark is a measure against which the performance of an investment or
portfolio can be compared. When evaluating performance it is important to ensure
that the comparison is made against an appropriate benchmark.
Parallel Investment Management
Generally, broad-market and market segment indices are used for this purpose, or for
diversified portfolios industry-designed benchmarks, such as those provided by the
Investment Association (IA), are used which usually are based on either ‘banded’ or
‘capped’ equity weightings.
A targeted return is not a guarantee of return but is designed to provide some
guidance as to the expected return from an investment or portfolio over the suggested
time horizon, taking account of the risk and return characteristics of the blend of
asset classes employed. For the Parallel portfolios the targeted return is based on
exceeding the rate of inflation (CPI) by an amount commensurate with risk return
profile of the investment strategy, and is stated as a ‘per annum’ figure over an
investment cycle.

Definitions
Annual Management Charge (AMC) covers the cost of the manager’s investment management services, such as research
analysis and portfolio management. The fee is deducted from the fund and is levied as a percentage of the value of the fund’s assets.
Ongoing Charge Figure (OCF) represents the ongoing costs to the fund, which includes the AMC and charges for other services
such as keeping a register of investors, calculating the price of the fund’s units or shares and keeping the fund’s assets safe. The OCF
is charged as a percentage of the value of the fund’s assets but does not take account of any initial charges or the costs of trading the
underlying stocks and securities held.
Please note that the charges quoted by Parallel do not account for any financial planning fee or trading platform fee which you may
incur.
R i s k is defined as the chance that an investment's actual return will be different than expected. This includes the possibility of losing
some or all of the original investment. Risk comes in a number of forms including market risk (the day to day fluctuations in asset
prices) and shortfall risk (the possibility that a portfolio will fail to meet longer-term objectives).
Volatility is a measure of risk and is often reported using ‘standard deviation’. The standard deviation of an investment or portfolio
measures the degree to which it fluctuates in relation to its mean return, that is, its average return over a period of time. An investment
or portfolio that is volatile is considered higher risk because its performance may change quickly in either direction at any moment.
For the Parallel portfolios we quote the standard deviation over a rolling 3-year period.
Property refers primarily to investment in commercial property but may include some exposure to residential property. Investment
may take the form of direct property (bricks and mortar) and/or property securities within the UK and overseas markets. Exposure to
property through funds investing in property securities may display the characteristics of equity funds.
Infrastructure refers to investment in the shares of companies that are involved in infrastructure around the world and not direct
investment into infrastructure assets. The infrastructure sector includes utilities (e.g. water and electricity), highways and railways,
airport services, marine ports and services, communications, oil and gas storage and transportation.
