Fund Objectives

The Fund invests in a mix of equities, fixed income and money market investments. The equity team engages in extensive research to find growth-oriented companies that represent excellent value and are managed by capable people. The fixed income team uses a long-term approach to investing across all fixed income markets. Generally, the managers target an asset mix of 60% equities and 40% bonds, due to the historical out-performance of equities versus bonds.
