Mandate
How we invest your moneyThe Fund seeks to achieve its objective by tracking the performance of the MSCI Australia IMI Diversified Multiple-Factor Index (referred to as the Index). We believe that an optimisation investment strategy is the most appropriate investment strategy to track the performance of the Index as it takes into account liquidity and transaction cost impact and overall risk relative to the Index. Optimisation is an indexing strategy that involves investing in a representative sample of securities that collectively has an investment profile similar to that of the Index. The securities selected are expected to have, in aggregate, investment characteristics (based on factors such as market capitalisation and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics (such as return variability and yield) and liquidity measures similar to those of the Index. Therefore, the securities to which the Fund is exposed may or may not include all of the securities in its Index and the weighting of such securities may differ to the weighting of securities in the Index. What does the Fund invest in?The Fund generally invests in the Australian equity securities that form the Index. The Fund may have limited exposure to securities that are not constituents of the Index, including derivatives, where such securities provide similar performance (with matching risk profile) to Index securities. However, from time to time the Fund may be exposed to all constituents of the Index. Generally, the Fund may also hold a small allocation of cash (or cash equivalents, that may include other BlackRock Group funds) for cash flow management purposes.
About the IndexThe Index aims to reflect the performance characteristics of a subset of equity securities within the MSCI Australia IMI Index (referred to as the Parent Index), which are selected and weighted on account of their higher aggregate exposure to four style' factors compared to other securities within the Australian Parent Index.
