  • About this fund

    About this Fund

    The Summer Balanced Selection fund invests in a balanced mix of cash, fixed interest, equity and property investments. We aim to achieve long-term returns (before fees, taxes and other expenses) greater than a composite benchmark. Investors can expect moderate to high levels of movement up and down in value and, longer-term returns that are higher than those of the Summer Conservative Selection (but with more risk), and lower than those of the Summer Growth Selection (but with less risk).

About this Fund

The Summer Balanced Selection fund invests in a balanced mix of cash, fixed interest, equity and property investments. We aim to achieve long-term returns (before fees, taxes and other expenses) greater than a composite benchmark. Investors can expect moderate to high levels of movement up and down in value and, longer-term returns that are higher than those of the Summer Conservative Selection (but with more risk), and lower than those of the Summer Growth Selection (but with less risk).
