Investment strategy
Our investment experts invest each portfolio in a combination of asset classes including shares, fixed income, alternatives and cash that they believe will be best placed to achieve the investment objective of each portfolio for investors. We carefully select specialist investment managers to build investments in each asset class. Investments are mainly actively managed through a combination of direct shares in companies and managed funds.
In an unpredictable and constantly changing world, we use our unique Investment Futures Framework to continually identify the very wide range of potential investment market conditions that could occur, and their effect on asset class returns. The insights from this analysis are used to work out the combination of asset classes that our investment experts believe will best achieve each portfolio’s objective.
Investor profile
The portfolio is designed for investors who seek some income returns with high potential for capital growth by investing in predominately growth assets. They should be prepared to accept a high level of risk of capital loss to achieve the investment objective.

Portfolio highlights
The Portfolio generated a positive return for November. Global Share prices made strong gains in November, largely driven by Wall Street’s exuberance. Notably both the American and Australian key share indexes have made record highs.
The Direct Australian Shares strategy was one of the largest contributors to returns with QBE and Xero providing strong returns. QBE’s overall renewal premium rate increases continue to track at or above inflation. Cloud-based accounting software company Xero released a strong operating result which beat consensus expectations by ~10% at the EBITDA level.
The Fairview Equity Partners Emerging Companies Fund was one of the best performers, outperforming their index by 2.7%. Top contributors for the fund were Superloop, Life360, and Telix Pharmaceuticals.
The Antares Ex-20 Australian Equities Fund was one of the best performers, outperforming their index by 1.6%. Top contributors for the fund were Block, Telix Pharmaceuticals, and HMC Capital.
MLC Real Return Fund performed strongly, outpacing its CPI+ index by 1.2% . The fund’s features, including a tailored Australian equities portfolio and global equity derivatives program, have importantly looked to control risk amidst an environment of continued narrow market leadership and heightened equity valuations.
