Macquarie Global Bond Solutions - Managed Fund (Closed)

Fund Objective
The Macquarie Global Bond Solution aims to outperform the UBS Australian Composite Bond Index over the medium term (before fees) by using an active investment strategy. It is designed for investors who want to broaden their fixed interest exposure. By diversifying across fixed interest sectors, investment managers and sources of value-add, this Fund produces a similar level of volatility to an Australian fixed interest fund.
Fund Strategy
Diversification by investing in Australian and Global Bonds, including specialist fixed interest sectors. Investing internationally provides access to fixed interest markets that are not present in Australia. In addition to the two sectors that are available in Australia, government bonds and investment grade corporate debt, global markets also offer alternative sources of value-add from emerging markets debt, high yield corporate debt and mortgage securities.
