CADIZ BCI MONEY MARKET FUND
The Cadiz Money Market Fund remains true to its mandate by consistently providing returns that outperform cash. While the fund remains strategically positioned to take advantage of elevated interest rates, we are cognisant of the dynamics in the interest rate environment as we enter the second half of the calendar year. Managed within its prescribed mandate constraints, the fund is consistently outperforming its benchmark, the Alexander Forbes Short Term Fixed Interest (SteFI) composite index. In addition, it diligently ensures the maintenance of adequate liquidity levels while keeping volatility of returns low.

The fund maintained its long-standing track-record of delivering low volatility returns and focusing on growing wealth while limiting downside risks. Trading activities implemented during the month were driven by cash flows and reinvestment strategies, aligning with the fund’s objective of prudent portfolio management.
