Capital Stable

Investment objectives and strategies

  • Achieve positive returns (after fees and tax) that exceed the return on cash over rolling three year periods.
  • Provide stable returns through an asset mix that maximises the prospect of positive rate of return each financial year.
  • Achieve returns that are above the average returns of other similar funds.

Risk / return profile

  • Low to medium.
  • Likelihood of a negative annual return in any one year: one in every 10 to 11 years.

Investment style

  • Most conservative and low-risk of the HOSTPLUS pre-mixed investment options.
  • Contains a higher percentage of defensive assets (cash and diversified fixed interest) than the Balanced and Shares Plus options.
