MLC MasterKey Allocated Pension (Five Star) - National Balanced Fund - Managed Fund (Closed)

Fund Objective
The portfolio aims to provide a return higher than its benchmark (before fees and tax) over 4 year periods. MLC aims to achieve this by actively managing the portfolio. This includes reducing risk in the portfolio if market risk is high. As a result, there may be smaller losses than the benchmark in weak or falling markets and potentially lower returns than the benchmark in strong markets.
Fund Strategy
The portfolio has a strong bias to growth assets and some exposure to defensive assets. You'll always know where your money is invested because we actively manage the allocations to these assets within defined ranges, in accordance with our changing view of risk and opportunities in investment markets. The portfolio is broadly diversified across asset classes and investment managers from around the world. These managers invest in many companies and securities in Australia and overseas.
