Overview

Fund Objective

CRED aims to track the performance of an index (before fees and expenses) that provides intelligent exposure to a portfolio of senior, fixed-rate, investment grade Australian corporate bonds.

Fund Strategy

The Fund's strategy will preference securities offering superior expected excess returns over Australian government bonds. Up to 50 bonds are selected, with eligible bonds requiring amounts outstanding of >$250m and a term to maturity of between 5.25 to 10.25 years.

Benefits

Attractive income paid monthly

Income is paid monthly at a rate expected to be higher than term deposits, government and composite bond exposures.

Diversification & defence

Australian corporate bonds historically have tended to rise when Australian shares have fallen, providing potential diversification and defensive benefits for portfolios.

Invest in bonds intelligently

CRED selects bonds based on expected returns rather than debt outstanding, seeking to avoid the shortcomings of traditional debt-weighted indices and provide higher returns.

There are risks associated with an investment in CRED, including interest rate risk, credit risk, market risk and index tracking risk. Investment value can go up and down. An investment in the Fund should only be considered as a part of a broader portfolio, taking into account your particular circumstances, including your tolerance for risk. For more information on risks and other features of the Fund, please see the Product Disclosure Statement and Target Market Determination, both available on this website.

Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. Returns are calculated in Australian dollars using net asset value per unit at the start and end of the specified period and do not reflect brokerage or the bid ask spread that investors incur when buying and selling units on the ASX. Returns are after fund management costs, assume reinvestment of any distributions and do not take into account tax paid as an investor in the Fund. Returns for periods longer than one year are annualised. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.

1 This is the annual distribution return to the end of the relevant distribution date. The distribution return reflects the contribution to total investment return made by the Fund's distributions. Distribution return is calculated as the total return less the growth return. Total return is calculated as the percentage change in a continuing investor's interest in the Fund assuming reinvestment of all distributions back into the Fund (and no other application or withdrawal), net of ongoing fees. Growth return is the Fund's return excluding distributions, net of ongoing fees. Past performance is not indicative of future performance.
