CMA-regulated Special Funds are a distinct category of collective investment schemes approved by the Capital Markets Authority. They pool investor capital and allocate it into more active or multi-asset strategies, which may include fixed income, equities, global markets, or structured instruments. Because of this flexibility, Special Funds often target higher returns than traditional money market funds. However, they also come with additional considerations around risk exposure, liquidity structures, and investment time horizons. Before investing in options such as the Mansa-X Special Fund or the Oak Special Fund, it is important to assess whether the fund aligns with your investment objective, expected holding period, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, and return expectations. At Mirror Wealth, we believe investment decisions should be driven by alignment and structure, not headline returns. Read More
