What is a Diversified Income Fund?
Diversified Income Funds invest in a range of cash, fixed-interest investments and other financial assets. These may include government bonds, floating rate securities, term deposits, income securities and commercial bills of exchange.
Through these investments, diversified income funds aim to generate returns that are higher than a general market rate, such as the official cash rate set by the Reserve Bank of Australia.
Depending on the fund or fund manager, they may seek to further enhance the returns offered by the fund by investing a portion of the fund’s money in other higher-return, higher-risk financial assets, such as mortgage-related investments.
Potential benefits of a diversified income fund
Professional management
When you invest in a diversified income fund, ongoing management and administration of the investment is delegated to an experienced investment manager. The investment manager’s active management and strategic allocation of assets may allow the fund to generate competitive, risk-adjusted returns that may be difficult to achieve on your own.
Regular income
Diversified income funds are designed to pay a competitive income to investors via regular distribution payments.
Diversification
Diversified income funds aim to provide a high level of diversification across various income investment options to limit exposure to any one particular investment. They may also be a suitable investment option to include as part of a diversified investment portfolio.
Access to your money
Diversified income funds are generally designed to provide you with swift access to your money when you need it. Withdrawals are typically available after a short notice period, which can range from several days to months, depending on the fund.
