In March last year, the firm launched the Protector 70 and Protector 80 products, with the latest offering giving investors the opportunity to protect at least 85% of its highest ever share price.
It is a multi-asset fund, offering a greater degree of protection than its two predecessors and is aimed at a conservative investor with a medium to long-term investment view.
Dawn Kendall, senior fund manager at Architas, will be the lead manager of Protector 85, as she is with Protector 70 and 80 that have combined assets under management of close to £100m.
Hans Georgeson, managing director, Architas, said: “The prevalent volatility and widespread uncertainty across global markets has understandably triggered a demand for greater downside protection. Confidence in the markets has been badly hit with some investors withdrawing altogether for fear of losing capital.”
