Key Features
Description of the FundThe Fund is managed by Kapstream who applies an innovative, flexible, and risk averse approach to fixed income portfolio management. The Fund targets an absolute return over time, by investing in a global, diversified portfolio of predominantly investment grade fixed income securities, according to Kapstream's global macroeconomic and market views. The Fund is intended to be suitable for investors who are seeking potentially higher levels of returns compared to cash and cash-like securities with low to moderate volatility in the unit price. To help you understand the following information relating to the Fund's investments, definitions of the important investment terms are provided in the Additional Information booklet. Investment approachKapstream draws on information from many sources such as economic round tables, investment banks, brokers, rating agencies and central banks. Kapstream employs a rigorous evaluation process for individual trades, first confirming that a prospective security meets Kapstream's global macroeconomic view, then incorporating various decision variables such as duration, yield curve, country, sector and volatility which is supported by the investment team's research and analysis. Investment universe and portfolio constructionThe investment universe may include, but is not limited to, Government and non-Government bonds, notes, corporate securities, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, emerging market debt, convertible securities, derivatives, including swaps, futures, foreign exchange contracts and options, cash and enhanced cash instruments. Kapstream will explore opportunities in both Australian and global markets, potentially investing in securities across the range of global markets and, to a limited extent, emerging market countries. Derivatives may be used to increase (or decrease) the duration of the Fund by gaining economic exposure to bonds. Kapstream does not intend to gear the Fund through the use of derivatives, short selling or borrowing. Currency strategyKapstream actively manages the currency exposure of the Fund's investments. Kapstream may hold non- Australian dollar denominated securities which may be fully, partially or not hedged back to the Australian dollar. Kapstream may also invest directly into currencies. Kapstream may hold up to a maximum of 15% of the portfolio in non-Australian dollar currency positions which is comprised of direct investments into currencies and the portion of non-Australian dollar denominated securities which are not hedged back to the Australian dollar.
