In the case of a significant market event, CIO views may be revised intra-quarter and the Signature CIO Funds will be rebalanced accordingly.
On the equity and Sukuk allocation, changes might occur anytime and the portfolios will be rebalanced as and when the portfolios change

A secondary consideration would be the implementation efficiency. By investing into the fund, you are leveraging upon Aditum’s institutional relationships and direct pricing from market makers which allow them to transact in the securities more efficiently than one could as an individual investor.
