INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The objective of the Sub-Fund is to endeavour to maximise the total level of return for investors through investment, primarily in debt securities and money market instruments issued or guaranteed by the Government of Malta, and equities and corporate bonds issued and listed on the Malta Stock Exchange.
STRUCTURE
The Sub-Fund forms part of the CCFunds™ SICAV plc and Operates under the UCITS structure which has become the gold standard for EU investment funds for retail investors. UCITS funds are ideal for retail investors as they have been specifically designed to ensure diversification and liquidity through distinct parameters, permitted asset classes and investment restrictions as set out in EU law.
MANAGEMENT
The Malta Balanced Income Fund is managed by a group of investment professionals at Calamatta Cuschieri Investment Management Limited who monitor market developments on a daily basis.
KEY FEATURES OF THE FUND
In seeking to achieve the Sub-Fund’s investment objective, the Investment Manager shall aim to invest at least 85% of the Net Assets of the Sub-Fund in a portfolio of debt securities and money market instruments issued or guaranteed by the Government of Malta, as well as equities and corporate bonds issued and listed on the Malta Stock Exchange (collectively, “Maltese Assets”) with no particular focus on any industry. Such exposure may also be obtained by investing in eligible collective investment schemes whose investment objective and policies are consistent with those of the Sub-Fund. Where the Sub-Fund invests in eligible collective investment schemes managed by the Investment Manager, the Investment Manager shall reimburse the Sub-Fund any investment management and/or performance fees, as well as any applicable subscription/redemption charges, received in connection with the Sub-Fund’s investment in the eligible collective investment scheme.
In seeking to achieve its objective, the Sub-Fund may also invest directly (or indirectly via eligible exchange traded funds and/or eligible collective investment schemes) up to 15% of the Net Assets of the Sub-Fund in:
(i) Eligible debt securities and/or money market instruments issued or guaranteed by Governments of EU, EEA and OECD Member States other than Malta, their constituent states or their local authorities; and/or
