“Experience the iDad difference”<br />
<strong>IDAD</strong> was established in 2002 and has grown to become a recognised<br />
leader in structuring investments in the UK and around the World. We<br />
can boast a phenomenal track record of successful products that are<br />
transparent, easy to understand and most importantly, have delivered<br />
excellent investment returns for investors.<br />
Our philosophy is straightforward:<br />
we make profits and grow as a business<br />
by delivering positive returns for investors<br />
within clearly defined risk parameters.<br />
Investment professionals around the World<br />
trust <strong>IDAD</strong> as their preferred provider for<br />
Structured Products. We also deliver<br />
a series of more traditional investment<br />
strategies through 8AM Global, which<br />
delivers the levels of consistency, clarity<br />
and performance we demand.<br />
We have a highly-experienced and<br />
well-qualified team based in the UK<br />
and internationally, with a wide-ranging<br />
expertise across the banking, investment<br />
and insurance sectors. While we make<br />
full use of modern communications<br />
technology, we firmly believe in the<br />
value of face to face meetings and the<br />
development of personal relationships,<br />
and we work hard to deliver in-region<br />
support.
Structured Products<br />
Structured Products come in many shapes and sizes, offering a flexibility of design that<br />
is rarely found with other investments. This flexibility allows investments to be designed<br />
for a specific target market and to provide opportunities to deliver bespoke solutions for<br />
the high net worth and institutional investor.<br />
Investment professionals<br />
around the World trust <strong>IDAD</strong><br />
as their preferred provider<br />
for Structured Products.<br />
Principal Protection<br />
The opportunity to offer capital protection at a chosen level.<br />
Enhanced Return<br />
The chance to increase a portfolio’s return while controlling risk.<br />
Market Access<br />
The opportunity to gain exposure to new and sometimes hard to access asset classes<br />
with pre-defined risk levels.<br />
Income, Growth or a Combination of the two<br />
Most of our investments are designed to deliver regular income payments, normally<br />
at a higher level than those available from traditional bond investments. These returns<br />
are often coupled with capital growth and growth-only investments can also be created.<br />
As with all investments, Structured Products are not risk free. It must be noted that<br />
returns are not guaranteed, some products will place your capital at risk and investors<br />
may receive less than the amount originally invested.

Specialist Funds<br />
The Tactical Growth Fund<br />
The Focused Fund<br />
The Structured Product Fund<br />
For more information about our investment products, please contact<br />
This Fund is managed by Alastair<br />
George and has a single and simple<br />
objective, which is to consistently<br />
make money for clients by investing<br />
in the best opportunities in global<br />
markets and by looking for the best<br />
risk/reward opportunities no matter<br />
where they are.<br />
The Fund is unconstrained by<br />
benchmarks and adopts a dynamic<br />
asset allocation delivered via wide<br />
ranging assets, at a low cost, giving<br />
access to a range of skills and asset<br />
classes frequently reserved for Hedge<br />
Fund investors. The Fund may be<br />
considered as suitable for a cautious<br />
investor who is able to tolerate half<br />
the volatility of equity markets yet<br />
requires returns comfortably above<br />
that available from cash deposits.<br />
This Fund is managed by Tom McGrath<br />
and is an actively managed global<br />
portfolio seeking to identify and invest<br />
in long term growth trends including<br />
rising Asian consumption, increasing<br />
longevity, new technologies, frontier<br />
markets, infrastructure development<br />
and urbanisation.<br />
The asset allocation of the fund is<br />
dynamic, with tactical use of cash in<br />
times of market stress to dampen down<br />
volatility and short term investment in<br />
recovery opportunities. The Fund may<br />
be considered as suitable for the more<br />
adventurous investor.<br />
This Fund invests in Structured Products<br />
that are already issued (the ‘Secondary’<br />
market) and new products that are<br />
designed and created specifically to<br />
meet the objectives of the Fund (the<br />
‘Primary’ market). The Fund is intended<br />
to meet the needs of investors seeking<br />
medium to long term capital growth<br />
who are willing to accept a moderate<br />
level of risk. It aims to achieve annualised<br />
growth between 5% and 15%.<br />
