Is this an attractive proposition?First off, the fund is a novel twist on a fairly familiar structure that was popular among the early series of protected and guaranteed funds between 2000 and 2002. At the core is a form of portfolio insurance, where the portfolio gets an exposure to the market in an automated way, as long as the capital is not compromised.This means that as long as the underlying market is strong, the exposure to equities or any risk asset can be as much as 100 per cent. In a bear market, this could ratchet down to zero. The catch is that when the latter happens, investors will be knocked out of any future market exposure even if the risk asset rebounds in value. This was what happened among the early crop of structured funds, causing losses in terms of opportunity costs and sales charges, and unhappiness among investors. So, after earning a bad reputation, why is portfolio insurance rearing its head yet again?Says a source: 'There is a lot of demand from clients who say I'm conservative. Is there any way to protect my downside?'Most funds that aim to protect your capital will put the bulk of the assets in zero coupon bonds. The greater the capital to be protected, the more conservative the strategy has to be. With this fund, by progressively paying out your capital, the cushion needed for downside protection reduces every year. This suggests that your risk exposure could be maintained or raised, even in a down market - although, as the prospectus clearly outlines, this may not be so in every circumstance.In the Life Select fund, the risk exposure is to a basket of stocks in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, environmental and wealth management sectors.The fund is open-ended, which means investors can subscribe or redeem at any time at the prevailing net asset value (NAV). Even with the capital repayments, it is understood that the fund's NAV may not drop by an equal amount every year. This is because the basket of stocks the fund is exposed to could generate a capital gain. And the fund also aims to generate income through a derivative strategy of selling call options and buying puts, in what is called a 'collar'. The options strategy is expected to earn 8 to 9 per cent a year. These returns are re-invested into the fund in the first 10 years, and paid out as income subsequently.Still, there are a number of caveats, as always.The prospectus lists three scenarios which would influence the fund's returns pattern. The first is a scenario of strong growth and an exposure to the risk asset of almost 100 per cent. In this case, the NAV will not appreciate as much as the underlying strategy itself because of the capital repayments. At the end of 10 years, the NAV is projected at $1.25.In the second scenario of a steady market, the NAV at the end of the 10 years is just $0.75.The third scenario is one where the basket of stocks underperforms. The portfolio loses exposure to the risk asset and is fully allocated to the zero bond component. At the end of 10 years, the NAV is reduced to zero.Says a fund distributor: 'Investors like the 'buy/write' strategy. This fund brings some unique features. A disciplined capital reduction scheme lets clients take some money off the table. That is a benefit to clients who do not have the discipline of knowing when to get out.' Buy/write refers to the strategy of simultaneously selling a call option, which earns a premium, and buying a call which gives a floor to the downside.For a client with a long investment horizon - 10 years is long by any measure - a balanced portfolio of stocks, bonds and cash is likely to beat the Celsius strategy. Individuals, however, may not have the discipline to rebalance their portfolios regularly, and in this respect a financial adviser can help.Academics at the London Business School have found that strategies that attempt to protect investors' capital tend to under-perform a simple buy-and- hold strategy. They also found that a protected portfolio is sub-optimal. For a given return, the risk would be lower if the investor simply splits his assets between cash and equities. Likewise, for a given risk level, the investor would reap higher returns with a traditional mix of cash and equities.Interestingly, the study - the Global Investment Returns Yearbook 2007 - also has a portion on portfolio insurance (CPPI). As professors Elroy Dimson, Paul Marsh and Mike Staunton explain it, the CPPI strategy buys equities as they rise and sell as they fall. The Life Select Income fund will levy a sales charge of up to 5 per cent, which is not included in the capital repayment. The annual management fee is up to 2.2 per cent. Investors are also subject to the credit risk of Barclays Bank plc which is the counterparty to the fund's underlying structure.
