United Investment Service - Cash - Managed Fund (Closed)

Fund Objective
To provide a very secure income stream with minimal potential for capital loss or gain. The objective is to earn a rate of return (before tax, fees and other ongoing expenses) which is equal to the rate of increase in the UBS Warburg Bank Bill Index over rolling three year periods.
Fund Strategy
Investments are divided between cash investments, which are deposited at call or in short-term deposits, securities such as bank-bills with maturities up to 90 days, and units held in a United wholesale Australian equity fund. This risk resulting from this enhancement (by way of the United wholesale Australian equity fund investment) is correspondingly minimised through the use of futures, to offset the share exposure.
