Key Features

About the Fund

The Trust invests in a share portfolio which is comprised of approximately 300 of the largest companies (shares) listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) managed on our behalf by Invesco Australia Ltd (Invesco). OnePath Funds Management manages the gearing for the Trust. This includes selecting appropriate lenders to provide the gearing for the Trust and managing the Trust's gearing ratio. Please refer to Section 5 of the PDS for more information about the Trust's investment approach.

The investment process

OnePath Funds Management implements the gearing for the Trust. The gearing ratio of the Trust will be managed to a benchmark gearing ratio of 50%. In the event that borrowing costs exceed dividend streams, the level of debt will be reduced to the extent required to cover the borrowing costs.

Managing the gearing level of the Trust

The Trust aims to magnify returns through gearing. An important objective is to limit gearing to the level supported by expected dividends and borrowing costs. The aim is to set the gearing ratio from time to time so that income earned from the Trust covers interest payments. As a result, the gearing ratio is impacted by the relationship between dividend yields and average borrowing rates. For example, when interest rates are high, relative to dividend yields, the gearing ratio may be relatively low, and vice-versa.

The Trust has a targeted gearing ratio of 50%. This means that for every $1 invested, the Trust borrows another $1 to increase the investment to $2. Due to market volatility, the gearing ratio and may be increased above, or reduced below, the targeted gearing ratio.
