MLC MasterKey Investment Bond (Gold Star) - Capital Stable - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
The portfolio aims to provide a return higher than its benchmark (before fees and tax) over 3 year periods. MLC aims to achieve this by actively managing the portfolio. This includes reducing risk in the portfolio if market risk is high. As a result, there may be smaller losses than the benchmark in weak or falling markets and potentially lower returns than the benchmark in strong markets.
Fund Strategy
The portfolio has a strong bias to defensive assets and some exposure to growth assets. You'll always know where your money is invested because the allocations to these assets are actively managed within defined ranges, in accordance with our changing view of potential risks and opportunities in investment markets. The portfolio is broadly diversified across asset classes and investment managers from around the world. These managers invest in many companies and securities in Australia and overseas.
