Benefits of investing in the Daintree Core Income Trust

Access to investment opportunities

Investing in the Trust means that your money is pooled with that of other investors. This provides the Trust with the investment buying power not often available to you as an individual investor with smaller amounts to invest. This means you can gain access to investment markets and risk management techniques that would not normally be accessible to individual retail investors.

Professional management

Daintree's investment professionals manage the Trust using a disciplined investment approach aimed at delivering returns in excess of the RBA Cash Rate (the Benchmark).

Right to distributions (if any)

Investing in the Trust means you may receive regular income from your investments in the Trust in the form of distributions. However, there may be times when distributions cannot be made, are lower than expected or are delayed.

Investor suitability

The Trust may be suitable for investors with an investment horizon of three years or more, who are seeking a high level of capital security from a well diversified portfolio of fixed income securities with returns that should exceed those available from cash and other short term investments.

About the Fund

Daintree Capital through its absolute return Core Income Trust provides investors with a higher income than generally available through term deposit and banking products. With the RBA Cash Rate at historic lows many investors are looking for a higher return, but wish to remain conservatively invested. Daintree's Core Income seeks to provide a solution to this dual objective. We offer two classes of units to Australian and New Zealand investors: Australian Dollar and New Zealand Dollar units.

Objective

The aim of the Trust is to provide a steady stream of income and capital stability over the medium term, by investing in a diversified portfolio of credit fixed income securities and cash, and to provide a total return (after fees) that exceeds the Benchmark measured throughout a market cycle.

How we invest your money

Daintree applies a pragmatic and risk averse approach to managing a portfolio of global fixed income securities. The Trust targets an absolute return (greater than cash) over time, by investing in a diversified portfolio of predominantly global investment grade credit securities which meets Daintree's investment standards. In managing the portfolio, Daintree applies a range of strategies that include duration and yield curve management, (actively managing the maturity profile of the portfolio), sector rotation and individual security selection.

All securities must carry a Standard & Poor's rating (or equivalent) of BB- or higher at the time of purchase.

Derivatives may be used for investment and risk management purposes, subject to the specific restriction that they cannot be used to gear the portfolio exposure.

The Trust invests in non-Australian denominated securities which may be fully or partially hedged back to the Australian Dollar (for the AUD class units) or NZD (for the NZD class units).
