Diversified growth funds
Diversified growth funds invest in a range of asset classes, which are typically more aggressive than balanced funds.
A growth fund is a diversified portfolio of stocks that has capital appreciation as its primary goal, with little or no dividend payouts. The portfolio mainly consists of companies with above-average growth that reinvest their earnings into expansion, acquisitions, and/or research and development (R&D).
Diversified growth funds aim to provide long term capital growth and some distributions by investing in a range of assets with an emphasis on growth assets. Typically growth funds targets a 30% allocation to income assets and 70% to growth asset classes.
