Fund Objective
Aims to outperform the Benchmark (after fees) over 3 year periods.
Fund Strategy
The fund is diversified across different types of debt securities in Australia and around the world that typically have a reasonably long time to maturity. Other assets such as commodities and hybrid securities may be used to hedge against inflation or provide additional diversification. Foreign currency exposures, will generally be substantially hedged to the Australian dollar. As a result of capital restructures of debt issuers, the fund may have an incidental exposure to shares from time to time.
