Investment Models
  • Defensive Income
    Defensive Income

    This Model Portfolio suits investors who: are averse to large fluctuations in the value of their investments over shorter time periods. This portfolio is the most risk-averse of our four Model Portfolio categories, and aims to protect you against a fall in the real value of your portfolio over time (that is, after inflation) by investing largely in Defensive assets. This means the portfolio will seek to generate a moderate income. You are comfortable with a targeted rate of return of 1-2% above inflation. As a rough guide, this Model Portfolio will typically consist of 70% Defensive assets and 30% Growth assets. However, each investment manager will manage allocations depending on their assessment of conditions.

  • Sustainable Income
    Sustainable Income

    This Model Portfolio suits investors who: seek a consistent and sustainable income from your portfolio. You also have a reasonably long-term time horizon and are not overly sensitive to changes in the value of your portfolio over shorter time periods. This portfolio takes more risk than the Defensive Income portfolio, seeking to deliver higher income and higher growth. You are comfortable with a targeted rate of return of 2-3% above inflation, and value consistent income over long-term growth of assets. As a rough guide this Model Portfolio will typically consist of 50% Defensive assets and 50% in Growth assets, including higher-yielding Growth assets. However, each investment manager will manage allocations depending on their assessment of conditions.

  • Robust Growth
    Robust Growth

    This Model Portfolio suits investors who: are focused on growth within your portfolio, with a commensurate lower focus on stability of the short-term value of the portfolio. This portfolio has a higher orientation to Growth assets than our Sustainable Income model but less than our Maximum Growth model. You are comfortable with a targeted rate of return of 3-4% above inflation, because you value Growth over Income in your portfolio. As a rough guide, this Model Portfolio will typically consist of 30% Defensive assets and 70% Growth assets. However, each investment manager will manage allocations depending on their assessment of conditions.

  • Maximum Growth
    Maximum Growth

    This Model Portfolio suits investors who: are focused on long-term growth and are comfortable with the commensurate risk and volatility that comes with this style of investing. This portfolio has the highest orientation to Growth assets of our four Model Portfolio categories. You are seeking a targeted rate of return of 4-6% above inflation, because you value growth and are a long-term investor. As a rough guide, this Model Portfolio will typically consist of 10% Defensive assets and 90% Growth assets. However, each investment manager will manage allocations depending on their assessment of conditions.

Investment Objective
Aims to achieve annualised returns of CPI+1-2% over rolling 3-year periods before fees with a low level of variability in returns.
Typical Investor
Cautious investors who are not comfortable with significant fluctuations in the value of their investments.
Investment Strategy and Approach
This is an actively managed, diversified portfolio of securities across: defensive asset classes, such as cash and fixed interest securities; diversifying assets such as higher yielding credit and alternatives; and growth asset classes such as Australian equities, global equities and property securities. By assessing how expensive asset classes are, Schroders forecasts future returns and the risk of loss to determine the most suitable asset allocation consistent with the investment objective. The resulting portfolio is diversified across a broad array of assets and securities, with strong emphasis on delivering the objectives with an acceptable level of risk.
