- Fixed Interest Funds – these are funds that invest primarily in debt instruments in Frontier Markets.
- Mixed Allocation Funds – these are funds that combine both equity and fixed interest in a way that neither is overly dominant in the portfolio.
- Other – funds that invest in other instruments that do not fall under the “Equity” or “Fixed Interest” categories. (such as property, futures and other “non-standard” investments).
