Multi Asset Class Fund 

Multi Asset Class Fund  ("the Fund") provides diversified exposure in both domestic and global markets across all main asset classes, including equities, fixed interest, property, infrastructure, alternatives and cash. The fund offers 3 different Investment Options or ‘Classes’ to the investors. The Investment Objective of each Option or Class is: 

  • Class A (Moderate) – To provide investors with a professionally constructed diversified portfolio of active and passive investments across all main asset classes to cater for investors with a medium to high risk profile. While the risk level based on APRA’s Standard Risk Measure is medium to high for the Moderate option, we expect the size of the negative returns to be lower compared to Class B (Balanced)).

  • Class B (Balanced) – To provide investors with a professionally constructed diversified portfolio of active and passive investments across all main asset classes to cater for investors with a medium to high risk profile. While the risk level based on APRA’s Standard Risk Measure is medium to high for the Moderate option, we expect the size of the negative returns to be higher compared to Class A (Moderate)).

  • Class C (Growth) – To provide investors with a professionally constructed diversified portfolio of active and passive investments across all main asset classes to cater for investors with a high risk profile.
