Portfolio strategy and volatility

The portfolio aims to provide income with some potential for modest capital gains with a relatively low degree of volatility, over the medium to long term.

About this mix

The portfolio mainly includes Government and good-quality corporate bonds to provide income and some potential for modest capital gains. The short-dated tracker fund (0 to 5 year) has a portion of its assets in cash and is a fair proxy for cash, to provide some capital protection. The index-linked tracker funds provide some protection from inflation.
