Key Features

About the Fund

The Fund is a multi-asset objective based strategy that specifically selects investments which align with the Fund's performance objective of achieving real returns above Australian inflation over rolling 3-year periods. Investments are managed with the intention of minimising the chance of losing money while also achieving a real return relative to inflation. The Fund may also use derivatives and active currency management to help achieve this investment objective.

Mandate

How we invest your money

The diverse nature of the Fund's investment universe and broad investment ranges ensures that it has the flexibility to effectively and efficiently allocate to and select those assets that in combination target the greatest probability of achieving the Fund's investment objective in all market environments. The Fund may also use derivatives and active currency management as part of the overall investment strategy.

This is further enhanced by the incorporation of a multi-pronged risk management framework designed to identify, understand and mitigate any inherent downside risk within the Fund.

The resulting portfolio is diversified across a broad array of risk premia, assets and securities, which is intended to leave it well placed to achieve its objective.

Asset classes and investment ranges

The Fund may invest across a broad array of asset classes within the major categories of Growth, Diversifying and Defensive assets. The Fund may also use derivatives and active currency management. The permitted asset allocation ranges are set out below:

  • Growth assets*: 0%-75%
  • Diversifying assets**: 0%-75%
  • Defensive assets***: 0%-100%

*Typically shares and property securities, offer potentially the highest return but also the highest volatility.

**Typically higher yielding debt and alternatives, offer higher potential returns usually with an income generating focus which assist in diversifying the portfolio's sources of return.

***Typically investment grade debt securities and cash and cash equivalents, are relatively secure with lower volatility.
