The Fund aims to achieve the investment objectives by investing predominantly in a highly diversified fixed income portfolio, with a focus on maximising returns with low volatility.
The fixed income asset class broadly includes different types of bonds, loans and other debt securities, where a borrower is advanced funds by one or more investors for a fixed term. The borrower pays agreed income payments during the term and at maturity, the borrower must repay the original (principal) amount to the investor.
Fixed income investors usually have the right to be repaid before equity holders.
Common types of fixed income assets include:
Fund Investments predominantly comprise a range of unlisted managed funds run by a selection of Underlying Managers who specialise in fixed income. The Fund may also hold Investments in other listed or unlisted assets and cash.
The Fund has a flexible investment mandate. This allows us to take advantage of what we believe are the best risk adjusted investment opportunities within the fixed income asset class at any given time. The portfolio is likely to have the following features:
The portfolio may include some assets which have both debt and equity features, or which are outside the fixed income asset class.
Affluence seeks to achieve the Fund investment objectives by choosing attractive Investments overseen by quality Underlying Managers. We use a number of processes to identify potential investments, including screening for historical performance, volatility and other criteria.

Affluence was formed to provide better investment solutions. We believe in doing things differently.
Our focus is on delivering superior long term investment performance and providing quality education and investment ideas for our Investors.
We are contrarian, value focused, and invest for the long term. We believe exposure to quality investments across multiple asset classes, managers, geographies and strategies should be a fundamental building block of any well diversified portfolio.
We pride ourselves on the quality of our products and alignment with our investors. We were the first investors in each of our Funds and a significant proportion of our own and extended families wealth is invested in our Funds.
We believe managing less money than average provides us with significant advantages. So while we don’t aim to be one of the biggest managers, we do aim to be one of the best.

The Fund aims to provide you with a minimum distribution yield equal to the RBA Cash Rate plus 3% per annum, paid monthly. Generally, distributions will consist of a share of the income the Fund receives during the year from its investments, plus any gains from sales of investments, less costs (including our performance fees). Distribution rates may be smoothed to ensure consistency but are based on our assessment of the expected earnings of the Fund’s investment portfolio over time. See here for the full distribution history of the Fund.
Distributions are generally paid 10 days after the end of each month. Distributions are paid to your nominated bank account or can be reinvested if you wish.
No. Because the majority of the income of the Fund is generated from fixed income investments, the Fund is unlikely to generate a significant amount of franking credits.
You will receive a monthly report outlining the Fund portfolio and performance, monthly distribution advices, annual investment statements, and an annual tax statement with details of the amounts to be included in your tax return.
Affluence does not charge any fixed fee for managing the Fund. Instead, we charge a performance fee of 10% of the Fund’s positive returns (after recovering any previous negative performance). Affluence also recovers certain costs from the Fund. These cost recoveries are generally capped at 0.25% of the net assets of the Fund per annum. Other costs are also payable. These fees and costs are not paid by you directly but are paid out of the assets of the Fund. All Fund performance numbers shown are after allowance for these fees and costs. You may also pay fees to a financial advisor or investment platform operator if you invest through them. These fees are not paid to Affluence or the Fund. Please refer to the PDS for more information about fees and costs.
