What can the Vision Income Fund actually invest in?
The fund's Statement of Investment Policy and Objectives (SIPO) defines the asset classes it can hold and the allowable target / min / max weights for each.
Strategic asset allocation ranges
| Asset class | Target | Min | Max |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Zealand fixed interest (including loans) | 90% | 0% | 90% |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 10% | 10% | 100% |
| International fixed interest | — | 0% | 90% |
| Currency hedging instruments | — | 0% | 90% |
Mandate flexibility (sum of max − min across all ranges): 360%. Wide range — high manager discretion typical of active management.
Explicit exclusions (3)
- Cashout without acceptable reason
- Significant speculative risk (loan value exceeds security value, reliant on a valuation upswing to protect capital)
- Any Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act (CCCFA) regulated purpose
Derivatives policy
The Fund may invest in derivative instruments for the purposes of currency hedging only. Currency hedging instruments are permitted within an asset allocation range of 0%-90% measured on a notional value basis.
