How we invest your money

The Fund is an actively managed fund that invests directly in Australian-listed equities, including REITs, or indirectly via the Maple-Brown Abbott Small Companies Trust (SCT), which we manage. We may also invest in unlisted equities provided that they are expected to be listed within 3 months from the date of investment.

The Fund typically holds at least 30 stocks.

The allocation to cash can play an important part in managing the volatility of investment returns.
