Ardea Diversified Bond C - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
The Fund aims to outperform its benchmark (Bloomberg Ausbond Composite Bond 0 Year Index), after fees, over rolling three year periods. The Fund aims to efficiently deliver the risk and return characteristics of the benchmark index (the 'beta' component) while also targeting excess returns (the alpha component) above the Fund's benchmark using Ardea's differentiated pure 'relative value' investing approach.
Fund Strategy
Ardea's approach accesses fixed income return sources beyond the conventional to target consistent tracking error volatility independent of the level of bond yields, the direction of interest rates and broader market fluctuations. The investment approach is based on generating returns from relative value strategies that aim to exploit mispricing between comparable fixed income securities which are related to each other and have similar risk characteristics but are priced differently.
