Investment Management
BT Funds Management (NZ) Limited (‘BT’) is the manager of the Trusts.
Each Trust is invested on an active basis, and is generally invested across a range of securities, asset classes, and specialist underlying investment managers. A number of specialist underlying investment managers are accessed by BT, and in doing so, BT seeks to deliver more sustainable outperformance over the longer term. We call this a multi manager approach.
