Fund Objective
To provide relatively stable returns over the medium term with the potential for some long-term capital growth. To deliver a return in excess of CPI plus 3.5% per annum over rolling five-year periods before fees and taxes.
Fund Strategy
The option's broad asset allocation is to be 55% exposed to growth assets such as shares; property and infrastructure securities and 45% to defensive assets such as fixed interest and cash. The actual asset allocation will vary from this as the manager uses a tactical asset allocation approach to optimise expected risk and return outcomes for the portfolio. In order to provide additional diversification; the portfolio is allocated across a number of leading investment managers. The fund may hedge its currency exposure.
