London-based Newton’s real return strategy is an actively managed multi-asset strategy which takes an approach to targeting absolute returns.

Total assets in the strategy, initially launched in 2004, currently amounts to $8bn.

Newton CEO Helena Morrissey said that while seeking to protect clients’ capital is a priority, especially during these volatile markets, this strategy aims to achieve more – a total return for their clients.

Established in 1957 APERS has expanded to include State, County, Municipal, School, and other political subdivisions.

APERS aims to provide current and future retirement or survivor benefits for its nearly 74,000 members and is responsible for investing a portfolio of $5.6bn on behalf of its members.
