The portfolio has exposure to a diverse mix of managed fund investments, which include primarily defensive assets and some growth assets. Over the long term, the portfolio aims to have a 70% allocation to defensive assets and a 30% allocation to growth assets.
The portfolio aims to reduce the probability of a negative return through a high exposure to more defensive assets.
The portfolio is constructed around an asset allocation which is based on the long-term objectives of the strategy. The portfolio and asset allocation are reviewed to adapt to changes in market conditions. The asset allocation, selection and blending of managed funds are actively managed with a strong focus on risk.
Fund managers, their funds and the construction of the portfolio are continually reviewed.
The portfolio construction process leverages the investment manager’s Manager Research capability to determine funds to be included in the portfolio construction process. The investment manager selects the respective funds and blends them in line with the portfolio’s Strategic Asset Allocation guidelines.
