Registry LOGINFund Overview
Our Equity Income Fund focuses on providing investors with a reliable, and relatively high, income stream, as well as capital growth, with lower volatility than the ASX 300. It does this by investing in high-yielding listed Australian and NZ companies and hybrids, as well as conservative options trading to take advantage of the sharemarket’s natural volatility. It is managed by Michael O’Neill and Tuan Luu.
- Suitable for: investors wanting a reliable income stream and capital growth with low volatility
- Invests in: 40-50 Australian companies listed on the ASX
- Investment timeframe: 4+ years
- Investment objectives: provide income 2% above the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index, at lower volatility, on a rolling four-year basis
