How it works
The Fund’s dynamic asset allocation aims to achieve a better outcome for investors than the static performance benchmark. Its objective is to deliver investment returns after fees in excess of 3% above inflation over any 10 year period.
Sandhurst has appointed Vanguard as the asset manager of Australian shares, international shares, property securities and Australian and international fixed interest. Vanguard has established a reputation in Australia as an index specialist providing low cost indexed solutions to investors. Sandhurst manages the asset allocation, portfolio management and cash.
The neutral position of the Fund is 60% growth assets and 40% defensive assets.
Asset type | Min | Max |
---|---|---|
Australian shares | 10% | 40% |

Property & infrastructure | 0% | 20% |
Fixed interest | 10% | 50% |
