Key Features

About the Fund

In managing the Fund, the Investment Manager's primary investment strategy is index sampling. The goal of the sampling strategy is to mirror the returns and characteristics of the underlying benchmark, the Bloomberg AusBond Bank Bill Index.

The investment manager purchases a selection of short term money market securities such that the portfolio matches key characteristics of the index. Key characteristics include credit quality, duration, sector exposure and running yield.

The Fund's investment strategy may include the use of options, futures and other derivatives to reduce risk or gain market exposure when necessary to do so. These instruments are not used speculatively, and are never used to gear the Fund.
