2. FUND MANAGER’S REPORT AND OUTLOOK
Fund Objective
The Cytonn High Yield Fund is a specialized Collective Investment Scheme with exposure skewed towards investment in real estate assets.
The Fund aims at capital preservation while earning high returns and maintaining su¬fficient liquidity. The Fund aims to achieve above
average returns that not only beat inflation but are also better than the yields offered by both government securities and fixed deposits.
Portfolio Strategy
The fund will largely be invested in fixed income and real estate related securities. Being a specialized Fund, the Fund can invest up to
80.0% in Real Estate funds, but to ensure su¬fficient diversification, no single investment should be more than 25.0% of the portfolio unless
in special cases.
