Our expansive range of Core Funds is carefully selected by top investment experts, and designed to cover the entire spectrum of risk/return profiles. Placing particular emphasis on different time horizons and risk appetites, the Core Funds range offers investment solutions that suit the unique risk and return requirements of every investor. To ensure that you choose a fund that’s best suited to your needs, you need to start by defining your financial goals, analysing your risk tolerance, and determining where you fall on the risk/return scale.
As an investor your key driving force is achieving your financial goals within a specified time frame, which in turn determines your risk and return needs. With the help of our risk profile classification model, you can find out exactly what your risk appetite is – whether it’s conservative, aggressive or somewhere in between. This will then enable you to choose a core investment fund based on your individual risk profile.

Being a conservative investor means that you may be reluctant to lose any of the money you put away, even if it means making a smaller return on your investments. Your longer-term return should still be a healthy 1% to 2% per annum above inflation.
You’re looking for slightly better returns than offered by your bank, and you don’t mind some fluctuation in the value of your investment.
You rely on your investment for a stable income and cannot afford to take on too much risk, but you need some share exposure to keep up with inflation.
Being a cautious investor means that you’re willing to accept a small amount of risk for a short-term loss on your initial investment. On the flip-side, your longer-term returns should be between 3% and 4% per annum above inflation.
You’re uncomfortable with large fluctuations in your investment value over the short term, and would therefore prefer a more stable fund.
Even though you’re a cautious investor, you still want bold results. What you need is an investment fund that can deliver, no matter what happens.
For low-cost, diversified bond performance, a core portfolio component, long-term wealth building, and cost-conscious investing strategies.
