Lifeplan Education Bond - FirstChoice Conservative - Managed Fund (Closed)

Fund Objective
To provide a regular income stream while maintaining and potentially increasing the value of capital over the medium term.
Fund Strategy
The option's broad asset allocation is to be 30% invested in growth assets (shares and property) and 70% in defensive assets (fixed interest and cash). Allocations are reviewed regularly although a reallocation is only considered in response to a fundamental change in long-term expectations or market demand. We seek to add value through a disciplined approach to the selection of the investments held by the option. For risk management purposes, the option may hedge some of its currency exposure.
