Fund information

Significant features

The Fund is an actively managed portfolio of fixed interest securities. It is designed for investors who want income and diversification across a broad range of fixed interest securities and are prepared to accept some variability of returns.

Investments are selected based on a range of financial, sustainable and ethical characteristics The Fund aims to allocate capital to issuers and securities that align to our sustainability themes: climate stability, human basics and innovation for good (the Sustainability Objective).

The Fund invests in securities issued by issuers that have passed Pendal’s sustainability threshold. This sustainability threshold is a qualitative assessment of an issuer’s environmental, social and governance risks and sustainability performance, including a sustainability score for each issuer and an evaluation of ESG risks from a credit, sector and issuer perspective. The Fund uses this assessment to avoid issuers deemed by Pendal as having poor sustainability performance and promotes issuers and securities with better sustainability performance.

Fund objective

The Fund aims to provide a return (before fees, costs and taxes) that exceeds the Bloomberg AusBond Composite 0+ Yr Index by 0.75% p.a. over rolling 3 year periods.

Source of fund performance data: Pendal. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. This information is for general information and is not to be regarded as a securities recommendation. Where performance returns are quoted “After fees” then this assumes reinvestment of distributions and is calculated using exit prices which take into account management costs but not tax you may pay as an investor. Where “Growth” returns are shown, these represent the percentage change in the value of units in the fund excluding any distributions paid. “Distribution” returns equal the difference between the “Total return (After fees)”, and the Growth return. Where performance returns are quoted “After fees and tax”, they are calculated using exit prices which take into account management costs and taxes paid within the trust up to a maximum of 15%. Where performance returns are quoted “Before fees and tax”, they exclude the effects of management costs and any taxes. You can view our Unit Pricing Discretions Policy here.
