Overview
Stable Fund

Stable Fund

The unit trust portfolio is suitable for conservative investors requiring a high level of capital protection, with the potential for capital growth and who do not wish to make complex asset allocation decisions between equities, cash and bonds, both locally and offshore. Diversification across all asset classes and a maximum equity exposure of 40% helps to reduce risk and volatility relative to an average prudential portfolio.
