Computed from 19 days of tracking since 27 Aug 2026 — figures marked not yet need more history than we have and are withheld rather than estimated. Every figure here is adjusted for distributions: a fund that pays out sees its NAV drop by the amount paid, which is not a loss to anyone holding it.
Who is this fund for?

- What it holds
- A mix of shares and fixed income. Balanced funds keep the mix within set limits; asset allocation funds can swing from mostly shares to mostly debt.
- Holding period
