Fund

The Devon Australian Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of 25-35 well researched shares which are primarily Australian listed companies. The Australian market offers exposure to a number of sectors that are not available in New Zealand.

While the Fund tends to be fully invested, when there are few compelling investment opportunities, the Fund may hold up to 20% cash or cash equivalent securities.
