The fund will be managed with the Antares Enhanced Cash Trust as its core strategy.
According to the website, the fund has received a ‘recommended’ rating from research house Lonsec.
"The appetite for low risk investments is still there, so investors are looking for alternatives that aim to give them added returns on top of the cash rate," Antares Capital Investment manager Ken Hyman was quoted by website as saying.
"Fixed income products aren’t always easily understood by retail investors and maybe this has made them a less popular choice than equities," Hyman added.
