Key Features
About the Fund
Investment objectiveThe Fund aims to provide investors with exposure to large capitalisation Australian shares along with regular franked dividend income, paid monthly, that is at least double the income yield of the broad Australian sharemarket on an annual basis. In addition, the Fund aims to reduce the volatility of the equity investment returns and defend against losses in declining markets. Investment StrategyThe Fund will aim to achieve the investment objective by investing its assets into a portfolio of dividend paying Australian equity securities (the “Securities Portfolio”). The Securities Portfolio will generally consist of large capitalisation Australian securities selected from amongst the 100 largest securities, by market capitalisation, listed on the ASX (the “Investment Universe”). |
Mandate
How we invest your moneyThe Fund will aim to achieve the investment objective by investing its assets into a portfolio of dividend paying Australian equity securities (the “Securities Portfolio”). The Securities Portfolio will generally consist of large capitalisation Australian securities selected from amongst the 100 largest securities, by market capitalisation, listed on the ASX (the “Investment Universe”). Portfolio rebalancing frequencyApproximately every three months. At each portfolio rebalance, the Responsible Entity will identify all securities in the Investment Universe that are expected, within the next rebalance period, to give a holder an entitlement to a dividend. This is assessed based on past declared dividends or analyst estimates. Weighting method for securities in Securities PortfolioSecurities are weighted based on a modified market capitalisation approach. Each security is assigned its free float market capitalisation weight subject to a cap on direct investment in any individual security, generally being the lower of 10% of the value of the Fund’s overall portfolio or four times the weight of the security in the Investment Universe at the time of portfolio rebalance. Sector exposureThe composition of the Securities Portfolio will largely be sector neutral relative to the Investment Universe at the time of rebalance. Should sector neutrality not be achieved based on the securities expected to pay an upcoming dividend and their individual weighting caps, the largest non-dividend paying securities by market capitalisation in the Investment Universe will be added to the Securities Portfolio to achieve sector neutrality. Use of ETFs to provide added diversificationThere will also be a permanent allocation in the Fund’s portfolio to an exchange traded fund quoted on the ASX that seeks to track a published, broad-based Australian equity index. This ETF allocation will generally be in the range of 15-30% of the Fund’s net asset value as at each portfolio rebalance. Initially, the allocation will be 25% of the Fund’s net asset value as at portfolio rebalance, which will be to the BetaShares Australia 200 ETF.
