| Investment objective | The Fund’s objective is (before fees) to exceed the performance of the Bloomberg AusBond Composite Bond Index over the medium term by actively investing in a diversified, medium risk, portfolio of predominantly Australian and some international higher yielding (sovereign and corporate) fixed interest securities and derivatives. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Investment strategy | The Fund is actively managed by QIC using a top-down and bottom-up approach in managing interest rate, inflation and credit risk. Investments are predominantly Australian securities but may include up to 25% exposure to international higher yielding (sovereign and corporate) fixed interest securities where QIC believes risk exposure would contribute to achieving the Fund’s performance and risk objectives. By adopting this approach QIC aims to achieve returns in excess of the benchmark. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Distributions can include different types of income including dividends, interest and realised capital gains. The amount and timing of distributions will vary from period to period. Investors should be aware that there may be periods in which no distribution is made.
