About the Investment Strategy

    The Legg Mason Real Income Fund is designed to deliver an enhanced yield that will grow in-line with inflation and have low volatility of capital. The Fund comprises an actively managed portfolio of Australian real estate investment trusts, utility, infrastructure and like securities that are listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. The investment approach used by Legg Mason Australian Equities relies upon the analysis of individual securities. The normalised earnings and intrinsic value of each security is based on long term cash flow based analysis. The aim is to look through the short term noise of market cycles and to focus on the sustainability of cash flows. Disciplined portfolio construction rules and risk controls are adhered to. The Fund expects to hold around 20 to 25 securities.
