Built and managed with retirement needs in mind
The Fund aims to provide investors with stable, risk-adjusted returns above inflation with lower volatility of returns, over the full investment cycle. It seeks to achieve this through investment in a portfolio of assets diversified across asset classes, sources of returns (from different asset types) and investment managers, and by maintaining a contemporary investment portfolio that is relevant to market conditions. As it is specifically designed for retirement, it is managed with a focus on income and franking credits. It also provides daily liquidity which gives investors peace of mind should unexpected emergencies arise.
"The Core Retirement Fund is designed specifically for investors in or close to retirement. The Fund aims to deliver a steady and smooth return over the longer term to help fund investors' living expenses in retirement."
Darren Beesley, Senior Portfolio Manager-
Diversified portfolio construction
The Fund seeks to minimise investment losses in potentially adverse investment environments through diversification. It invests in a portfolio of assets that is spread across different asset classes, sectors and geographies as well as different investment managers.
-
Dynamic asset allocation
The Fund is actively managed, and uses dynamic asset allocation which means it has the flexibility to change the asset class mix at any time within broad ranges. This allows the portfolio manager to take advantage of market opportunities but conversely, allows the portfolio manager to adopt a more defensive position depending on market conditions.
-
Risk management strategies
The Fund utilises AMP Capital’s Multi-Asset Group capabilities in implementing risk management strategies, such as hedging, to help cushion the impact of major market volatility.

- Investment management – there is a risk that the investment manager will not perform to expectation or factors such as changes to the investment team or a change of investment manager may affect the Fund’s performance.
- Property investments – factors such as the quality of underlying properties and geographic location may affect the Fund’s performance.
