Fund aim

The investment objective of the fund is to provide long-term investment growth through exposure to a diversified range of asset classes, excluding physical property.

Fund characteristics

The fund will invest in a range of assets which may include equities, bonds, cash, infrastructure, private equity, global real estate companies and other asset classes deemed by PMC to be relevant to the objective of the fund. The assets of the fund may be held directly or indirectly via units of other PF Sections, including MPAA (Multi-Asset Fund). Exposure to each asset class will primarily be through investing in passively managed funds. The fund aims to meet the criteria of the ABI Mixed Investment 40-85% Shares Sector. The fund is expected to have a level of risk which is equivalent to two thirds of the volatility of a global equity portfolio, over the long-term.
