Fund benchmark

Investment approach
The stock picking process for this Fund blends a strong quantitative selection process across Australasia with a quality and fundamental overlay. The Fund predominantly invests in equities which generate attractive dividend yields, but also holds cash and fixed interest securities. It is designed to be more diversified than typical Australasian equity funds, and provide scope for regular sustainable income.
