Overview

How is this fund different to others?

The Kernel Balanced Fund primarily invests in growth assets with some allocation to income assets. The fund targets a 60% equities and 40% fixed interest asset allocation, investing mainly in several of the other Kernel funds. The fund is designed to fluctuate less than the High Growth Fund but also have lower long term returns due to the diversification across income assets that are generally more stable. This fund may be suitable for investors with a medium to high risk appetite, and has approximately 1/7 chance of a negative year.

Risk

The risk indicator reflects how much the value of the Fund’s assets goes up and down (volatility). A higher risk generally means higher potential returns over time, but more ups and downs along the way. The lowest risk rating doesn’t mean “risk-free” and this risk indicator is not a guarantee of a Fund’s future performance.
