Two-Year Diversified Fixed Interest Trust
| Inception Date | APIR Code |
| December 7, 2005 | DFA0002AU |
Within the risk constraints of investing in eligible short-term, high credit quality instruments, the objective of the Two-Year Diversified Fixed Interest Trust is to maximise the total return (comprising income and capital appreciation) of a broadly diversified portfolio of domestic and global fixed interest and money market securities. The Trust is designed to dampen overall portfolio volatility.
The Trust invests in high credit quality domestic and global fixed interest securities, with a maximum maturity of 2 years. Foreign currency exposure is hedged back to the Australian dollar. The Trust uses a variable maturity approach which involves no interest rate forecasting. This approach seeks to identify the countries and maturity ranges with the highest expected returns and generally increases country allocation or extends maturities when the expected returns are significantly higher for a country or for longer term securities.
The Trust invests in a broad range of securities denominated in currencies from various countries including Australia, Canada, Denmark, Europe (Euro), Japan, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and the US and other eligible countries as determined by the Investment committee.
