Investment Objective

The investment objective defines the geographical area, sector, market capitalisation, maturity, management style, and the credit quality of issuers in which the portfolio will invest.

The collective capital of investors is used to acquire various types of securities, including money market instruments, bonds, equities, derivatives, etc.

Some mutual funds aim to achieve absolute returns, regardless of benchmark performance. A mutual fund may also seek to replicate or outperform its benchmark over a specific investment horizon.
