      "investment_philosophy": "Salt and the Manager are active managers whose shared investment philosophy is centred on the belief that market inefficiencies exist that can be exploited over time to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns. This philosophy is based on the belief that the value of any financial asset is the net present value of some measure of future cash flows, discounted appropriately, and that observed prices will often differ from this value and provide both near and long-term trading and investment opportunities.",
      "responsible_investment_approach": "Salt does not hold securities of companies whose core business activities (more than 10% of revenue) are: manufacture of cluster munitions, manufacture or testing of nuclear explosive devices, manufacture of anti-personnel mines, manufacture of tobacco, processing of whale meat, recreational cannabis, gambling, or manufacture of civilian automatic and semi-automatic firearms, magazines or parts. Salt is a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investing and integrates ESG factors into stock-specific research.",
      "derivatives_policy": "Derivatives are used as an important part of effective portfolio management, including hedging to manage overall risk, achieving best execution and reducing transaction costs, and achieving asset exposures efficiently. Derivatives may not be used where this would result in a conflict with the Funds' governing documents or this SIPO.",
      "rebalancing_policy": "Each Fund's actual asset allocation is monitored daily relative to its benchmark asset allocation range. Rebalancing is undertaken by buying and selling assets when allocations get close to the limits of their benchmark asset allocation ranges.",
      "currency_hedging_policy": "Changes in foreign exchange rates introduce volatility in valuations of investments held in currencies other than the New Zealand dollar. To reduce this volatility, the Funds may hedge their overseas assets. The Funds may be fully, partially or completely unhedged at Salt's discretion.",
      "liquidity_policy": "Apex calculates unit prices on every New Zealand business day including regional anniversary days but with the exception of Auckland Anniversary Day. Prices are not calculated on other New Zealand public holidays. Each Fund maintains an appropriate level of liquid assets, including cash, to manage daily redemption flows and ongoing expenses."
