The objective of the fund is active investment and asset distribution between bonds and shares. Effective risk distribution is achieved via asset distribution between bonds and shares in foreign currency and active investment is achieved by utilising opportunities in the bond and share markets.
Extensive fluctuations can be expected and can be traced to shifts in the share and bond markets as well as currency fluctuations. The plan consists of foreign shares (60-80%) and foreign bonds (40%) which are mostly government bonds. Share fluctuations are historically greater than bond fluctuations. An investment period of 5 years or more is recommended.
