Overview - GAFAX
The investment seeks to provide capital appreciation consistent with the risk-return characteristics of a diversified portfolio of hedge funds; the secondary goal is to achieve these returns with less volatility than major equity indices.

Normally, the adviser typically will make extensive use of derivative instruments, in particular futures, forward contracts and swaps on global equity and fixed-income securities, securities indices, currencies, commodities and other instruments.
