Key Features

Investment philosophy and process

Realindex believes that markets are not perfectly efficient, meaning that there is mispricing of companies relative to unknown fair values. As a result of this mispricing, there is a small number of systematic factors such as Value (cheap stocks outperform expensive stocks), Momentum (stocks with strong price momentum outperform stocks with low price momentum) and Quality (low quality stocks underperform) that can lead to excess returns above that of the market over a long time horizon. Realindex uses systematic equity strategies to target these factors. These strategies may vary from rules-based, non- price-weighted methodologies, to customised solutions and more active quantitative strategies.

Realindex Funds - Class A

All Realindex Funds - Class A are managed using a systematic methodology. Apart from the Realindex Enhanced Equal Weighted Global Share Fund, Realindex Funds - Class A form a universe of companies based on accounting measures. Factors such as quality, near-term value and momentum are applied to form a final portfolio of companies. The resulting portfolio has a value tilt relative to the benchmark and provides the benefits of being lower in cost, lower turnover and highly diversified compared to traditional active investment strategies.

Mandate

How we invest your money

Realindex forms a universe of companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange that are outside both the ASX 100 and the 100 largest companies based on accounting measures. Factors such as quality, near-term value and momentum are applied to form a final portfolio of companies. The resulting portfolio has a value tilt relative to the benchmark and provides the benefits of being lower in cost, lower turnover and highly diversified compared to traditional active investment strategies. By weighting the portfolio based on accounting measures and factors such as quality, value and momentum, Realindex aims to generate higher returns versus the benchmark over the long term.
