We have three endowments; the core investment advantages that set us apart from other investors. These advantages are derived from how we were established and help guide us in our investing decisions.

Our three core investment advantages are:

1. Long term horizon: The Fund’s intergenerational purpose and transparency of government withdrawals allows us to confidently invest and allocate risk over the longer term.  
2. Operational independence: The Guardians’ clear mandate, strong governance and independence from Government supports greater autonomy, efficiency, and commerciality in the execution of our mandate.  
3. Sovereign status: The Guardians’ sovereign status affords us both credibility and a regulatory advantage that is regarded favourably by investment partners. 

In combination, these advantages optimise the Guardians' ability to generate superior investment returns for the Fund.

Due to the long-term growth-oriented risk-return profile of the Fund, the Guardians are confident of contributing many billions of dollars (in present day terms) to the Crown over the coming decades. These investment returns will outperform the alternative option of reducing Crown debt.
