Diversification
Balanced funds - diversifying across asset classes
Balanced funds attempt to overcome the inherent volatility of any particular asset class by investing in a diverse range of asset classes, typically shares, property, fixed interest securities and cash.
Balanced funds
are suited to those investors looking for a simple investment
solution where their exposure to different markets will be actively
managed for them over time.
While returns for balanced funds may not be as high as those that can
be achieved in a pure share fund, they may be more consistent with a
lower variation from year to year.
