About this fund

The Growth Fund is part of the Focus Series range of funds. The fund is suited to investors who seek potentially relatively high returns on average over longer term periods (seven years plus), allowing for short to medium term ups and downs. We aim to achieve this by investing primarily in growth assets, with a moderate allocation of income assets. We utilise a mainly passive approach for the Focus Series.
