Generate Conservative Fund
The Generate Conservative Fund aims to offer modest returns over the short term by investing primarily in income assets (80%) such as cash, term deposits, and bonds, with a small allocation to growth assets (20%) like shares and property. This allocation strategy aims to balance stability and growth potential, making it suitable for investors with a lower risk tolerance. The fund's estimated annual charge is 1.09%, plus a $36 administration fee, and it is recommended for a minimum investment period of two years.
The fund's risk indicator is categorized as low to medium, reflecting the relatively stable nature of its investments compared to more aggressive funds. The target investment mix includes 75% fixed income, 6.75% property and infrastructure, 6.75% Australasian equities, and 6.5% international equities, aiming for a balanced yet cautious approach to growth. While the Conservative Fund does not have a 10-year return history, as it was launched in May 2022, its strategy is designed to provide consistent, albeit moderate, returns over the short term.
