Key Features

About the Fund

The aim of the strategy is to generate a cost-effective and tax-efficient exposure to developed and emerging markets, while diversifying broadly and targeting the parts of the markets that history suggests offer higher expected returns.

The Fund is designed to be used as a core component or sole investment of a global equity portfolio.

The fund puts a greater weight on low relative priced stocks, small company stocks and companies with higher profitability. These factors have been shown by rigorous academic research to drive long-term returns.

Mandate

How we invest your money

The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital growth and income by investing predominantly in a diversified portfolio of listed international shares (excluding Australia).

The Fund puts a greater weight on low relative priced stocks, small company stocks and companies with higher profitability. These factors have been shown by rigorous academic research to drive long-term returns.

The Fund seeks to hedge approximately 50% of developed markets foreign currency exposure to the Australian dollar, focusing on major currencies. Other developed markets foreign currency exposure is either assigned to one of the major currencies or not hedged. Emerging markets foreign currency exposure is not hedged.
