Fund purpose

the New Zealand corporate bond market. The objective of the Fund is to exceed the return of the benchmark portfolio after
fees on a rolling 12-month basis.

Investment approach
This Fund draws on the detailed credit research of the Harbour Fixed Income team, and follows a diversified, low-turnover
strategy. It aims to capture the credit and liquidity premium attached to corporate bonds, bank securities and local authority stock, which lends it a slightly higher credit risk profile relative to other fixed interest funds containing government stock.
