About GBFFX

GMO Benchmark-Free Fund, Class III, is a multi-asset mutual fund designed to pursue positive total returns by flexibly allocating investments across a broad array of asset classes. Unlike traditional funds that track a specific benchmark, this fund operates without benchmark constraints, allowing the management team to dynamically adjust exposures based on their assessment of market opportunities and valuations. The fund invests in a mix of direct securities, shares of other GMO-managed funds—including equity, fixed income, and alternative asset strategies—and frequently employs derivatives and short positions to implement its views. GMO employs a value-driven approach, aiming to exploit deviations from intrinsic value among asset classes, guided by proprietary long-term asset class forecasts. The fund targets annualized returns exceeding the Consumer Price Index by 5% (net of fees) and seeks to maintain volatility within a 5-10% range over a full market cycle. This flexible structure enables the fund to respond opportunistically to changing global market conditions, making it a distinct solution for investors seeking diversification and adaptability outside conventional benchmark-driven mandates.
