Key Features

About the Fund

The Fund offers a low cost diversified investment across asset classes using index funds and exchange traded funds.

With five options to choose from, you can select from diversified portfolios of global and Australian shares, property, fixed interest and cash across a range of risk profiles.

What is an index?

An index comprises all available investments (or a specific sample of) in a particular market or sector, such as Australian shares, property or fixed interest. It measures the performance of a particular market or sector over time. An index fund invests in the same securities as the index it tracks and will continually rebalance to ensure it matches the index allocations.

Investors in an index fund have indirect access to the income and growth of the securities in the index with lower transaction costs compared with personally owning and managing these securities directly.
