abrdn Multi-Asset Income Fund
The Fund is actively managed, investing in income generating strategies across a range of asset classes with the aim of mitigating the effects of inflation over the medium to long term.
The abrdn Multi-Asset Income Fund is an actively managed diversified portfolio investing in income generating strategies across a range of asset classes with the aim of delivering monthly income and capital growth over the medium to long term to mitigate the effects of inflation.
The investment objective is to invest across a range of asset classes with the aim of delivering an income yield each year that exceeds the RBA Cash Rate as well as capital growth over the medium to long term.
The Fund’s investment strategy primarily focusses on delivering an income yield to investors, at a rate determined at the start of each financial year.
The investment strategy also aims to generate capital growth over the medium to long term to mitigate the effects of inflation.
The Fund may invest in income generating strategies across a range of asset classes including Australian equities, international equities, property securities, fixed income, sub investment grade credit, alternatives, cash and short maturity income.
Within the Australian equities and property securities components of the portfolio, the Fund’s investment strategy aims to produce tax effective returns through the bias towards companies with high levels of franking credits and tax deferred income.
The Fund may also invest in derivatives for hedging, risk management or for investment purposes. Fund volatility will be controlled through the use of active asset allocation and effective diversification of assets.
