Interest Rate Asset Allocation Fund

The Futuregrowth Interest Rate Asset Allocation Composite aims to deliver excess return mainly through a combination of aggressive interest bearing asset allocation, overall active interest rate risk management and appropriate yield curve positioning within the various interest bearing asset classes.

Exposure to higher yielding non-government bonds is limited in order to enhance the ability of the composite to allocate to the most appropriate interest bearing asset class at short notice. The benchmark is the All Bond Index (62.5%), JSE ILB IGOV Index (30%) and South African STeFI Call Index (7.5%).

Objective

The Composite aims to outperform the combined benchmark by 1% over a rolling 3-year period.

Composition

The Composite invests in money market instruments, fixed and variable rate, and inflation-linked bonds. The Composite aims to be invested in the sub-interest rate asset class that renders a superior return over time through aggressive allocation shifts. It also reflects the best investment view regarding yield curve positioning and individual stock selection with focus on flexibility.
