Diversified Funds

Diversification – its one of the golden rules of investing. Our progressive investment portfolio design, processes and thinking enables us to offer a range of diversified investments that have a strong track record of innovation and competitive performance.

Our investment options cover the full risk spectrum including a diversified portfolio with primarily low risk securities, a medium risk, balanced portfolio that aims to deliver consistent, above benchmark returns, a higher risk portfolio with a significant bias towards growth assets that targets higher than average long term returns and a balanced fund that invests in a broad range of assets that are managed within a responsible investment framework.

We believe the key elements of good diversified investing are:

  • Active management of portfolios’ allocations to different markets and sectors to suit changing short, medium and long term investment environments and conditions.
  • Investment techniques that have consistently performed over long periods, such as active stock selection for New Zealand shares.
  • Active asset allocation -in line with our philosophy that different markets perform at different times, our team actively manage the funds’ strategic and tactical asset allocation to suit the changing environment.
  • A strong management team - we are one of the most experienced investment management teams for New Zealand investments, complemented by a multi-manager style which combines some of the worlds’ best managers for international investments.
  • Diversification across growth and income assets – multiple investment styles in New Zealand and international shares, global listed property securities, fixed interest securities and property.
