Five-Year Diversified Fixed Interest Trust1 NZD class

Inception Date
17 February 2004 (AUD class inception date 13 September 2001)

The objective of the Five-Year Diversified Fixed Interest Trust1 is to maximise the expected returns of a broadly diversified portfolio of short to medium term, high credit quality, domestic and global fixed interest securities. The Trust is designed to provide liquidity and dampen overall portfolio volatility.

The Trust invests in high credit quality domestic and global fixed interest securities, with a maximum maturity of 5 years. Two classes of units are offered to all investors, AUD class units, denominated in Australian dollars and NZD class units, denominated in New Zealand dollars. Foreign currency exposure is hedged back to the Australian dollar (AUD class units) or the New Zealand dollar (NZD class units). 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, UK and US.
