| Investment objective | The Fund aims to achieve an investment return of the Bloomberg AusBond Bank Bill Index plus 1.25% (before fees and taxes) over rolling three-year periods, and to provide relatively stable returns over the medium term with potential for some long-term capital growth, through investment in underlying funds. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Investment strategy | The Underlying Funds allocate the majority of their investments to defensive assets such as fixed interest and cash with the objective of providing the combined portfolio with relatively stable returns. The residual amount of the portfolio is allocated to growth assets, such as listed shares, property and infrastructure securities, to provide the potential for capital growth. For risk management purposes, the Fund may hedge some of its currency exposure. QIC seeks to add value by utilising an Equilibrium Asset Allocation (EAA) framework to build the Underlying Funds and guide positioning over the medium to long term. EAA represents the unconstrained long-term target positioning of the Underlying Funds through a full investment cycle. QIC also utilises an Opportunistic Asset Allocation (OAA) approach to tilt asset allocations in response to changing valuations and general market conditions. OAA can reduce overall portfolio volatility whilst increasing returns in the selection of the investments held by the Underlying Funds. |
