Complete asset class solution

The Trust brings together a specific combination of investment managers and is an easy way to gain access to sophisticated fixed income strategy.

The Trust is diversified across different types of fixed income securities in Australia and around the world.

Aims for above-benchmark returns while managing risk

The Trust's performance and risk can be compared to its market benchmark. The benchmark is a combination of an Australian and a global bond index.

To achieve above-benchmark returns (before fees) and manage risk, the Trust invests in fixed income securities that are predominantly investment grade and typically longer dated. The average term to maturity is normally managed within the range of three to six years.

And foreign currency exposures will be substantially hedged to the Australian dollar.
