Mandate

How we invest your money

The Fund provides exposure to cash, Australian floating rate securities and term deposits.

The Investment Manager's cash management approach is driven by a disciplined and thorough process, backed by in-house quantitative analysis. Investment returns are further enhanced by actively managing the Fund's duration, yield curve position and security selection.

The Fund gains exposure to these assets either directly or through funds managed by a member of the Macquarie Group. The Fund may be exposed to derivatives, including derivatives that increase in value when the underlying instrument falls in value, and decrease in value when the underlying instrument rises in value. Derivatives may be used for hedging and active investment purposes.
