Objectives and Strategy
Fund Objective To provide relatively stable returns with low potential for capital loss by investing in Australian and global fixed interest securities.
Fund Strategy To invest in a diversified portfolio of government and corporate bonds that aims to deliver relatively stable returns with less fluctuation than investing in shares and property. The investments are managed by a number of leading fixed interest managers containing both index managers whose investments aim to mirror the index, and active managers who aim to outperform the index. The underlying managers of this option may use long short strategies. The portfolio aims to hedge currency risk.
