CINSF Balanced Fund (Default Option)
Investment Objectives
To produce rates of return over time that are sustainably higher than those of the Conservative option, but less volatile than the Growth Option, returns which exceed inflation by a realistic amount. This is done by investing a significant percentage (60%) of the fund in growth assets (world stock markets) while keeping the probability of a negative return at moderate levels.
The fund is composed of a “Reference Portfolio” which is a passive cheapest and easiest version of the design benchmark of 60/40 Growth/Defensive. The return of the Reference Portfolio is therefore the after, costs, fees and trading expense outcome of the most direct expression of the design benchmark.
At this stage, the fund has not invested in a “Value Add” portfolio which will be entered into when opportunities to out-perform the Reference Portfolio have been identified.
Total Fund Return is the Investment Fund return net of investment manager fees
