Mandate

How we invest your money

The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of listed international securities. The Fund has a goal of achieving long-term capital growth and some income, and to outperform the MSCI All Country World ex-Australia Index ($A) over a rolling five-year period.

The underlying investment managers may utilise strategies for the management of currency exposure. It is the strategy of the Fund to leave international currency exposure unhedged. However, should it choose to do so the Fund does have the capacity to apply a currency overlay to manage currency risk.
