Warakirri Cash Deposits Trust - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
Through active management the Trust aims to provide investors with enhanced return, improved liquidity and superior diversification relative to an investor investing directly in cash deposits with one or more of Australia's four leading banks.
Fund Strategy
The WCDT provides investors with a convenient means of gaining exposure to a professionally managed and transparent portfolio of cash deposits, issued by Australia's four leading banks and their divisions. Warakirri's investment professionals will construct a portfolio of cash deposits that is diversified by bank and maturity. Warakirri will seek to maximise the return by investing at the highest rates available for the relevant maturity dates. The Trust is intentionally conservative and straight forward in nature.
