Bendigo Defensive Wholesale Fund

A defensive wholesale Fund using an active management style

The Bendigo Defensive Wholesale Fund (Fund) aims to create wealth for investors by providing professionally managed investment opportunities.

How it works

The Fund uses a predominantly active approach, meaning it identifies, monitors and allocates amounts between specialist asset managers who buy and sell assets based on changing market conditions. Betashares will select asset managers to invest the Fund’s assets across a variety of asset classes. Together through the selection of expert asset managers and the asset allocation, Betashares will seek to meet or exceed the investment return objective.

 

Its objective is to deliver investment returns after fees in excess of 1.0% above inflation over any 10-year period.

 

The neutral position of the Fund is 20% growth assets and 80% defensive assets.

 

*In exceptional market conditions the Fund may have asset class allocations outside the stated minimum and maximum for short periods of time.
