MLC MKPF - MLC Low Cost Balanced - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
The portfolio aims to provide a return that meets its benchmark (before fees and tax) over 4 year periods. At the same time, MLC aims to reduce 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. The allocations to these assets are actively managed within defined ranges, in accordance with MLC's changing view of potential risks and opportunities in investment markets. The portfolio is broadly diversified across mainstream asset classes. It uses mainly passive investment managers for growth assets and active managers for defensive assets. These managers invest in many companies and securities in Australia and overseas.
