Diversified Funds

The QIC diversified products are designed to provide investors with a set of portfolios that span the risk-return spectrum. These include the lower risk QIC Stable Fund and the “balanced” risk of the QIC Growth Fund and the higher risk, higher return seeking QIC High Growth Fund.

Each of these products is constructed to maximise the probability of achieving its investment objectives. This requires a thorough understanding of the key economic drivers of each asset class and the way that they move under different economic scenarios.

QIC, through its dedicated Investment Strategy Division, undertakes extensive capital markets research in order to fully understand and quantify these relationships. This research is overlaid with third party research from academia, investment banks and global consulting houses to ensure that different points of view have been accounted for.

The outcome of these processes is a portfolio asset allocation which is designed to produce robust investment performance through a range of economic conditions. Measured diversification across a number of asset classes and macroeconomic factors is the key to achieving this.

QIC then seeks to add value through the active management of each of the constituent asset classes. These asset classes are managed through a combination of rigorous internal processes and through QIC’s implemented multi-manager processes. In each case the portfolios are designed to provide the maximum benefits from diversification. Diversification is sought in terms of:

• Fund manager diversification,
• Investment style diversification,
• Country and geographic diversification, and
• Industry and sector diversification.
