Daily Liquidity, Short Duration, Tradable on CBOE Australia
Overview
The Coolabah Short Term Income Fund (Managed Fund) (Ticker: FRNS) harnesses CCI’s extensive management team to actively exploit mispricings in cash and bond markets to generate daily liquidity returns that exceed a target of the RBA cash rate plus 1.5% to 3.0% pa after all fees with an average A credit rating and near-zero interest rate duration risk.

It cannot use leverage. It is typically placed in the “short duration fixed-interest” (credit) or “cash-enhanced” universes.
The Coolabah Short Term Income Fund (Managed Fund) is a class of the Coolabah Short Term Income Fund which is quoted on the Cboe Australia securities exchange and accessible under the ticker FRNS.

Investments
FRNS actively invests in a portfolio of Australian cash securities and bonds with a target dollar-weighted average credit rating in the “A” band.
All fixed-income assets are hedged to a floating-rate (ie, not fixed-rate) exposure that means it has near-zero interest rate (duration) risk.
FRNS does not invest in fixed-rate bonds (unless interest rate risk is hedged out) or equities, and is not permitted to use leverage.
Applying a diverse array of quantitative asset pricing techniques, FRNS’s portfolio managers add-value through exploiting bond mispricings that seek to generate capital gains over and above the yield provided by the underlying fixed-income assets.

The Fund is not a bank deposit.
It is a managed investment scheme registered and regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
All investments carry risks, including that the value of investments may vary, future returns may differ from past returns, and that your capital is not guaranteed.
