Fund purpose
This Fund is designed as a risk-diversifier for those who may already hold riskier assets (such as equities or property). It aims to generate returns over and above the New Zealand fixed interest market. The objective of the Fund is to outperform the benchmark by 100 basis points per annum over a rolling 3-year period.
Fund benchmark
Bloomberg NZBond Composite 0+ Yr Index.
Investment approach
This Fund is built to generate returns through investing primarily in a mix of New Zealand Government and corporate fixed interest securities. The Fund is actively managed, which means the Fixed Income team is able to use Harbour's macroeconomic and security research to make active investment decisions and target additional returns or hedge against risks.

It helps our Portfolio Manager develop an understanding of each company, and influences the allocation of capital. This fund also includes negative screening to remove companies whose business activities may lead to significant harm. Zero-tolerance exclusions include the production of tobacco, nuclear explosives, cluster munitions, anti-personnel mines, pornography and controversial firearms.
