Investment strategy
The Nucleus Tactical Accumulation Model invests in a combination of Australian and International equities with a high focus on Bonds. The portfolio takes minor tactical tilts to different asset classes based on valuation. Stocks are chosen with a value and quality bias. All positions are currently implemented through physical investments. Rebalancing is considered at least monthly by the asset allocation committee. The committee often takes a longer term view on assets and will choose to gradually build positions with dividends/excess capital rather than actively trading wherever possible.
