Balanced USD Fund

The Balanced Fund aims to deliver capital growth over the medium term through a balanced portfolio of bonds and equities.

Aligned with long term themes, the fund is suitable for investors with a moderate tolerance for capital volatility and a medium term time frame (three years or longer). The fund has a flexible mandate which allows up to 60% of the portfolio to be exposed to equities and at least 30% of the portfolio to be exposed to fixed income and/or cash investments. We are active managers and not constrained by stock market indices or benchmarks.
