Fund Objective
The option aims to provide a return (before fees and taxes) that exceeds the Reserve Bank of Australia cash rate over rolling three-year periods while allowing for some capital growth to reduce the impact of inflation.
Fund Strategy

BTIM's investment process is designed to provide a flexible approach to asset allocation, aimed at preserving capital and minimising the occurrence of adverse income outcomes. Derivatives may be used to reduce risk, act as a hedge against adverse movements in a particular market and/or in the underlying assets or used to gain exposure to assets and markets. The option does not hedge currency risk.
