Benefits of investing in the MLC MasterKey Unit Trust

Diversify to reduce volatility and other risks

• Diversification - investing in a range of investments - is a sound way to reduce the short-term volatility of a portfolio's returns. That's because different types of investments perform well in different times and circumstances. When some are providing good returns, others may not be.

• Portfolios can be diversified across different asset classes, industries, securities and countries, as well as across investment managers with different approaches.

• The more you diversify, the less impact any one investment can have on your overall returns.

• One of the most effective ways of reducing volatility is to diversify across a range of asset classes.

• Diversification across asset classes is just one way of managing risk. MLC's multi-asset portfolios diversify across asset classes and investment managers. Please refer to the 'Our approach to investing' in the 'Investing in MLC investment options' section of the PDS for more information.

Who can invest

You can only invest in the MLC MasterKey Unit Trust if you're:

1. an existing investor invested directly in an MLC investment option
2. an existing investor invested directly in a National investment option
3. an existing MLC MasterKey Investment Service investor, or
4. applying for the MLC Cash Fund through the MLC MasterKey Investment Service Fundamentals.

If you only hold a National investment option you can't switch to an MLC investment option and you can only switch to the same fee option of another National investment option.
