Investment Approach
This Fund holds liquid money market securities, NZ Government stock, corporate bonds and term deposits. It aims to generate returns in two ways: using Harbour's research-driven process to capture the higher yield that longer term securities can offer, then actively managing liquidity and interest rate exposure so funds are available when investors need them.
