Defined Portfolios


There are six Defined Portfolio Investment Options

 

Defined Portfolios fund optiosn and associated risk profiles

The funds range from lower-risk investments heavily weighted towards income assets to more growth-orientated investments. Each fund has been carefully structured with the aim of delivering the best possible return for the relevant risk profile.

The Defined Portfolios funds are invested in the Defined Portfolios unit trusts which are unitised Portfolio Investment Entities (PIEs) and are established as unit trusts. Craigs Investment Partners Investment Management Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Craigs Investment Partners, manages the Defined Portfolios unit trusts.

You can build your START® account from one or, with the approval of the Manager more than one of our Defined Portfolios funds. However you cannot change the underlying securities of a fund. The list of securities within each Defined Portfolios fund is available on request.

A monthly fact sheet for each of the funds can be viewed on our Funds Management page.
