Overview

The Martin Currie Australia Diversified Growth strategy is designed as a 70% growth asset / 30% defensive asset allocation option with the aim  to produce superior medium-term returns.

We have put Australian accumulation clients at the heart of product design for the Martin Currie Australia Diversified Growth strategy.

We have found that typical balanced fund’s high allocations to global equities and global fixed income are not tax effective for Australian superannuation and pension investors. Furthermore, passive approaches to asset allocation are ineffective as they do not consider factor risk exposures and current investment landscape.

The Diversified Growth strategy benefits from Martin Currie Australia's 40+ year pedigree in active asset allocation for balanced funds, and gathers the investment capabilities of dedicated, experienced investment managers and strategies into one portfolio.

Combining a strong mix of fundamental research skills, quantitative analysis experience and market expertise, the strategy seeks to optimally allocate assets across a range of Australian and global equity, real asset, fixed income and cash strategies based on the most attractive expected returns.

The systematic portfolio construction model using unit trusts allows the strategy to quickly take advantage of market mispricings and capture outperformance in a cost-effective manner.
