Colonial FirstChoice Wholesale Investment - Colonial Wholesale Australian Corporate Debt - Managed Fund (Closed)

Fund Objective
To provide income-based returns that, over the medium term, outperform a domestic index of corporate bonds by investing in a diversified portfolio of higher yielding Australian fixed interest investments.
Fund Strategy
The option's strategy is to earn an income return from investing predominantly in Australian corporate debt, controlling risk through careful selection and monitoring, combined with broad diversification. The increased credit risk of corporate debt means that these investments have the potential to deliver higher returns over the medium term compared to government bonds. The option does not generally purchase securities that give rise to currency risk. If any currency risk does occur, the option will aim to hedge the risk.
