North Professional Balanced - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
The Fund aims to provide investors with moderate investment returns, with the likelihood of fluctuations in the value of their investment from year to year.
Fund Strategy
The Fund invests in a diversified mix of growth and defensive assets, across a range of complementary underlying managers selected for their expertise in an asset class or investment approach. This diversification provides investors with the potential for a more stable risk-return profile than would be achieved by investing in a single asset class or manager.
