Mandate

How we invest your money

The Investment Manager aims to build a portfolio providing exposure to some of the fastest growing companies on the Australian share market. The process seeks to identify companies which:

  1. rank highly on the Investment Manager's quantitative screens, and
  2. may exceed market expectations over the long term.

The Fund gains exposure to these assets either directly or through funds managed by a member of the Macquarie Group. The Fund may be exposed to derivatives. Derivatives may be used for hedging and active investment purposes.
