About the Trust

The Trust is an OptiMix multi-manager trust that has exposure to underlying actively managed funds. Please refer to section 5 of the PDS for more information about the Trust's investment process.

As responsible entity of the Trust and the underlying funds in which the Trust invests, OnePath Funds Management monitors and regularly reviews the performance of the underlying investment managers we appoint to manage the Trust's underlying assets.

As part of this regular review, OnePath Funds Management may add or remove one or more underlying investment manager(s) at any time without prior notice. We will publish updated information about the underlying investment managers at onepath.com.au/superandinvestment/investment-funds.aspx > OptiMix Multi-Manager map.

The investment process

The Trust is an OptiMix multi-manager trust that adopts an active investment approach, constructing portfolios on the basis of in-depth analysis and research conducted by the OptiMix investment team on capital markets and external managers.

The Trust investments

The OptiMix investment team and the specialist managers may invest in a range of assets, including fixed interest, Australian and international shares, property and alternative assets (which are assets that behave differently to the traditional asset classes just mentioned).

In order to gain exposure to the investment markets, the Trust may invest directly or indirectly via other unlisted trusts. The Trust will not incur additional management, entry or exit fees for this type of investing. In addition, the Trust's investment manager(s) may undertake forms of gearing by employing long/short strategies.
