How the Fund is managed
The Fund uses primarily a bottom-up stock selection process, but is flexible, pragmatic and mindful of prevailing macroeconomic and market conditions, for example; interest rates, commodity prices and inflation
Attractive Income
Due to the impact of compounding, history shows that reinvested dividends account for the bulk of equity market returns. The Fund’s blend of company shares and fixed income securities allow the manager to seek out the best sources of yield
Long term growth
In addition to providing income, the Fund also aims to generate moderate long-term capital growth by investing in quality companies that have consistent earnings, while retaining a focus on risk
High-quality companies
The Fund invests in some of the world’s most familiar companies with strong market positions, which tend to have steady earnings growth and are therefore consistent dividend-payers
