LifeIncome offers you access to a range of leading Australian and international investment managers. Working with your financial adviser, you can build your own portfolio by investing in single asset investment options or using one of the diversified investment options to suit your desired risk profile.
When reviewing investment option performance, it is important to understand that when your starting income was determined, it was calculated taking into account your chosen LifeBooster rate. This means that instead of your income growing each year in line with full investment returns, future investment returns are discounted by the LifeBooster rate.
Please note: unit price and performance information will be available from July 2022.
AB Managed Volatility Equities Fund (LI16)
Alliance Bernstein
Alliance Bernstein
6 (High)
Aims to achieve returns that exceed the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index after fees and before tax over the medium to long term.
The fund invests mainly in Australian Securities Exchange listed shares but may also invest in global developed market shares and cash. The fund implements a managed volatility equities strategy that aims to reduce volatility by identifying, and investing in, high quality listed equity securities that have reasonable valuations, high quality cash flows and relatively stable share prices. The manager does not always hedge the foreign currency exposures of the fund’s global equity assets to Australian dollars but the manager has the discretion to determine the extent of hedging against any foreign currency exposure.
Derivatives may be used to manage risks (including foreign currency risk), invest cash, manage volatility and gain or reduce investment exposures. Derivatives will not be used for leveraging or gearing purposes.

Schroder Real Return Fund (LI12)
Schroders
Schroders
5 (Medium to High)
To achieve a return of CPI plus 4% to 5% p.a. (before fees and tax) over rolling 3-year periods while minimising the incidence and size of negative returns in doing so. CPI is defined as the Reserve Bank of Australia’s Trimmed Mean, as published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
The manager’s approach to inflation plus (or real return) investing is to choose the portfolio that has the highest probability of achieving the required return objective over the investment horizon with the least expected variability around this objective. The fund employs an objective based asset allocation framework in which both asset market risk premium, and consequently the asset allocation of the portfolio are constantly reviewed. The portfolio will reflect those assets that in combination are most closely aligned to the delivery of the objective.
Investments are predominantly in traditional assets, with no leverage and strict limits on exposure to liquidity constrained alternatives which enhances the transparency and liquidity of the portfolios.
Assets are classified in three broad types of investments according to the likely returns and the risk:
• Growth assets, typically shares and property securities;
• Diversifying assets, typically higher yielding debt, objective based investments and alternatives; and
• Defensive assets, typically investment grade debt securities, cash and equivalent investments.

2 (Low)
The fund targets a stable return in excess of inflation (before fees and tax) over the medium term.
The manager is a specialist ‘relative value’ fixed income investment manager. The manager’s differentiated pure ‘relative value’ investing approach offers a compelling alternative to conventional fixed income investments because it is independent of the prevailing interest rate environment and how bond markets are performing. The manager believes the pure ‘relative value’ opportunity set is a proven reliable source of returns because it is driven by structural market inefficiencies that create new ‘relative value’ mispricing opportunities to profit from. The manager focuses on delivering consistent volatility-controlled returns in order to strictly limit performance volatility and prioritise capital preservation, irrespective of the market environment. The manager aims to fully hedge any foreign currency exposure back to the Australian dollar.

To achieve long-term capital growth by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity or equity-related securities that are listed, traded or dealt in on any of the Regulated Markets worldwide. The fund is not managed to a benchmark and may have exposure to developed markets or Emerging Markets whilst maintaining its geographical diversity. The fund invests in companies that are positioned to contribute to, and benefit from sustainable development.. The fund aims to exceed the MSCI All Country World Index over rolling five-year periods before fees and taxes.
Stewart Investors take a bottom-up approach to investing in high quality companies that contribute to and benefit from sustainable development. Research focuses on each company’s sustainability positioning and the quality of management, franchise and financials. Each company’s contribution to sustainable development is fully integrated into the assessment process and must be core to the businesses model. Portfolio holdings tend to be firms that make products or provide services with a social or environmental purpose where success is aligned with sustainability. Environmental, social and governance risks and issues which are relevant to the company are integrated into the assessment of quality. A focus on capital preservation means that valuations must be reasonable, with a goal of achieving equity-like absolute returns appropriate for the level of risk over the long-term.
