Colonial FirstChoice - Schroder Real Return - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
To deliver an investment return of 5% pa before fees and taxes above inflation over rolling three-year periods. Inflation is defined as the Reserve Bank of Australia's Trimmed Mean, as published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Fund Strategy
Schroder's approach to inflation plus (or real return) investing is to choose the portfolio that has the highest probability of achieving the required return objective over the investment horizon, and the least expected variability around this objective. The fund employs an objective based asset allocation framework in which both asset market risk premia, and consequently, the asset allocations of the fund are constantly reviewed. The fund may hedge up to 100% of its currency exposure.
