About this fund

The High Growth Fund is part of the Focus Series range of funds. The fund is suited to investors who seek potentially higher returns on average over long term periods (ten years plus), allowing for short to medium term ups and downs. We aim to achieve this by investing predominantly in growth assets, with little or no allocation to income assets. We utilise a mainly passive approach for the Focus Series.
