Key features and benefits

What is the Fund's strategy?
The Fund invests in a portfolio of Australian fixed interest securities and cash focusing on delivering positive returns regardless of the performance of the broader fixed interest market. The allocation between the different types of fixed interest securities and cash is actively managed to take advantage of changes in the market, versus other more traditional fixed interest funds that tend to follow an index. ie when the market performs negatively, the performance of those funds will generally follow.

The Fund aims to provide investors with regular income and to preserve capital.

Key Benefits
Regular income paid quarterly - As fund primarily investing in fixed interest and cash products, interest is distributed to investors on a quarterly basis

Capital stability - Bonds, fixed interest products and cash are considered relatively low risk and do not fluctuate to the the same extent as the sharemarket, providing investors with some stability over their investments

Focusing on returns rather than an index - The Vianova Strategic Fixed Interest Trust believes that focusing on delivering positive returns rather than following an index is a key differentiator in how they manage their fund.

Who should consider investing in the fund?
The Fund should be considered by investors seeking income or looking to provide diversification from an equity based portfolio (bonds and fixed interest funds typically perform better in times of share market falls). This fund is considered to be a lower risk investment.
