About this fund
In their own words
We aim to achieve positive long-term returns by investing mostly in selected Australian shares, and in New Zealand listed shares, where the company has meaningful operations in Australia. These kinds of investments will typically have very high levels of movement up and down in value. They can be suitable for someone who wants to invest in shares and is comfortable with that level of movement, with a view to achieving higher longer-term returns.
