About the Fund

The Ausbil Active Dividend Income Fund provides exposure to an actively managed portfolio, predominantly made up of listed Australian equities with growing, tax effective income. The Fund is benchmarked to the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index and provides exposure to companies with growing dividend streams.

Investors will have access to a portfolio of companies which are expected to have growing dividend streams supported by revenues, earnings and free cash flow.
