- Half Moon - Progressive Portfolio with a benchmark of CPI + 1%

These portfolios have been designed to coincide with the changing needs of investors, as they approach retirement.
Benefits Benefits are provided in the form of a maximum of 1/3rd lump sum, part of which may be tax-free. The remainder must be used to purchase an annuity. Your investment is not guaranteed and may rise and fall in accordance with market conditions. The investment philosophy of Oasis, however, is to provide consistent superior returns at lower than market risk.
