Macquarie Treasury Fund

Investment objective

Aims to perform in line with the Bloomberg AusBond Bank Bill Index over the short term (before fees) by using a low-risk investment strategy.

Investment strategy

The Fund is designed for investors seeking a treasury management solution that provides exposure to a portfolio of highly-rated cash and short-term fixed interest securities, primarily issued by banks, corporates and the Australian government. The permitted securities include, but are not limited to, negotiable certificates of deposit, short-dated floating rate notes and deposits. The Investment Manager’s cash management approach is driven by disciplined and thorough processes backed by in-house quantitative analysis. The Investment Manager aims to enhance returns by formulating views on the likely direction of short-term interest rates and positioning the Fund to benefit from these views. The Fund also seeks to add value through low-risk enhancements such as deposit accounts and short-dated floating rate notes. The Fund may be exposed to derivatives, including derivatives that increase in value when the underlying instrument falls in value, and decrease in value when the underlying instrument rises in value.
