Key Features
About the FundThe SPDR MSCI World Quality Mix Fund seeks to closely track, before fees and expenses, the returns of the MSCI World Factor Mix A-Series Index. The MSCI World Factor Mix A-Series (AUD) Index captures large and mid cap representation across 23 Developed Market countries. It aims to represent the performance of quality, value and low volatility factor strategies. The index is an equal weighted combination of the MSCI Value Weighted, MSCI Minimum Volatility and MSCI Quality Indexes in a single composite index. Investment StrategyThe Investment Manager employs a passive management strategy designed to track the performance of the Index, before fees and other costs. The Fund generally invests in the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their relative weightings in the Index. However, in a variety of circumstances the holdings of the Fund may not exactly replicate the Index. For example, it may not be possible or practical to do so in some circumstances, such as where investment restrictions apply which would prevent direct investment in a particular security. From time to time the Fund may not hold all of the securities comprising the Index and may hold securities in weightings which differ from the Index. From time to time, the Investment Manager may cause the Fund to hold derivatives contracts (e.g. futures contracts and options over securities comprising the relevant Index) and other investments that do not form part of the Index. This may occur where the Investment Manager believes that the Fund's investment objective can better be achieved by doing so. For example, derivatives may be used to manage the Fund's exposure to the market during distribution periods, or where direct investment in a particular security is not possible or practical. Derivatives will only be used in limited circumstances and will not be used to gear the Fund. |
Mandate
How we invest your moneyThe MSCI World Factor Mix A-Series Index is an equally weighted combination of three factor indexes - MSCI World Quality, MSCI World Value Weighted and MSCI World Minimum Volatility ("the Component Indexes). It aims to represent the combined risk/return performance characteristics of quality, value and low volatility factors within global developed equities. Combining these three factor indexes in equal proportions has historically offered a smoother performance ride and greater diversification compared to individual factor indexes. The Component Indexes score each security within the MSCI World Index according to certain criteria as detailed below:
The Component Indexes have extensive liquidity and investability screening embedded in the construction. The Index is rebalanced semi-annually, usually after the close of business on the last business day of May and September each year. This coincides with the semi-annual review of the MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes and of each component index. For more information refer pages 6-8 in the product PDS. |
