Objective
The Fund’s objective is to prioritise long-term capital growth through investing into carefully selected NZ and Australian assets, with a focus on shares. When suitable, the Fund may use strategies that seek to reduce the impact of large market downturns. The performance objective of the Fund is to outperform the NZ Official Cash Rate by 5% per annum over the long-term, after all fees (and other expenses) but before tax
Investment Strategy
The fund has a wide investment mandate and can invest into most New Zealand and Australian assets (including listed and unlisted equities, options, fixed interest and cash). As a result of the investment process there might be prolonged periods when the fund holds material levels of defensive assets (for example cash, Term Deposits and fixed interest).
The fund has broad discretion on the type and proportion of Australasian assets it invests into (see asset allocation table below). There are times in the economic cycle when equity prices can become excessive and the upside from equity investments is limited. Depending on the prevailing investment environment, the Ranger Fund might be significantly invested in equities or might be significantly invested in cash and/or fixed interest, or it might use derivatives. This allows the Ranger Fund to have capacity to invest when valuations become more attractive. Due to this flexibility the Ranger Fund does not have a set target asset allocation. There are some restrictions and investment limits on certain assets (see section 5: Permitted Investments for details).
The fund does not currently pay any distributions.
