  • improved risk-adjusted returns.

Risk level of the Fund

This Fund has been assigned a "Moderate risk designation based on its exposure to a portfolio of global fixed income securities that may include high yield and emerging market debt, which may reduce liquidity and increase credit, currency, political and investment risk and may amplify the unpredictability of return. The portfolio may also make extensive use of derivatives to achieve its objective. This grading is not intended to be a guarantee of any actual level of risk or an indication of likely returns.

RISK LEVEL Moderate
INVESTOR SUITABILITY

The Fund may be suitable for investors seeking the potential for a high level of current income and some appreciation over time and can accept the risks associated with investments in global fixed income securities as well as those associated with the extensive use of derivatives.

The Fund may also choose to achieve its investment objective by investing in any one or more collective investment schemes with the same or substantially similar investment objective to the Fund and which is managed by the Investment Manager or an affiliate of the Investment Manager.

How we invest your money

Investment style and approach

The Investment Manager seeks to maximise performance by:

 

 

  • generating a consistent performance over the Benchmark by exploiting inefficiencies in the global fixed income and currency markets through focusing on generating returns in excess of the Benchmark and effective risk management;
  • achieving a target value, being the total return of the Fund including capital gains and income, in excess of 2% per annum above the Benchmark over the full economic cycle;
  • achieving an expected tracking volatility, being a measure of the dispersion of returns against the Benchmark, between 1% and 5% per annum; and
  • managing the risk of negative returns.

 

 

Asset allocation

The assets of the Fund will generally be invested in accordance with

the following guidelines:

 

 

  • Investment grade fixed income instruments: Up to 100% of the Fund’s market value (where government issued) and up to 50% of the Fund’s market value (where corporate issued).
  • Non-investment grade fixed income instruments: Up to 20% of the Fund's market value.
  • Currency limit: Non-Australian dollar exposure limited up to 20% of the Fund's market value.
  • Cash and cash equivalents: Up to 50% of the Fund's market value.

 

 

Due to movements in the market or similar events, the guidelines set out above may not be adhered to from time to time. In these circumstances, the Investment Manager will seek to bring the Fund's investments within the guidelines within a reasonable period of time.

The Fund may make extensive use of Derivatives including, but not limited to, bond futures, forward foreign exchange contracts (including non-deliverable forwards), interest rate futures, options on interest rate futures, options on bond futures, currency options and OTC swaps including interest rate swaps and credit default swaps as well as swap indices. On an opportunistic basis, the Fund may create synthetic short positions in currencies, bonds and credit indices using various instruments including currency forwards, currency options, interest rate and bond futures, options on interest rate and bond futures, interest rate swaps, credit default swaps and swap indices.
