The subfund can have its assets in money market instruments, however, the subfund is typically managed on a fully invested basis with circa 3% of the net asset of the subfund invested held in cash. Currency positions may be established to hedge foreign currency exposure in relation to the relevant share classes to minimise any fluctuations between the base currency and the currency of the appropriate subfund.
