PBAA
Balanced Fund

The Balanced Fund is an actively managed fund which aims to achieve growth through capital gains and income from a well-diversified portfolio of global equities and equity-based financial instruments. This fund will also invest in bonds issued by governments, supranational bodies, other investment grade corporate and non-sovereign bonds and/or bond-based financial instruments. This fund invests some of its assets outside the eurozone so a currency risk arises for a euro investor. As the fund is managed from the point of view of a euro investor any currency hedging that may be conducted will be into euros. This fund is managed by Zurich Life.

Main features

  • Indicative equity range: 50% - 75% of the value of the fund.
  • Actively managed fund with investments in equities, bonds and cash.
