Arculus Preferred Income Fund - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
To provide a higher yield than traditional cash management and fixed income investments in all market conditions. The total return will mainly comprise income from security distributions. Income will mainly be cash based with little or no franking credits.
Fund Strategy
The Funds investment strategy is to identify appropriate investments that are expected to generate a sufficiently high yield, commensurate with the assumed risk, with minimum volatility of returns. The fund consists of a core portfolio constructed with reference to macroeconomic factors and industry exposure. The balance of the fund is a tactical component that seeks to enhance returns via investing in short term yield opportunities in the same fixed interest asset classes but especially those traded on the ASX.
