Benefits of investing in the CFML Schroder Equity Opportunities Fund

Investing in the Fund offers investors a range of benefits. Investing in the Fund means that your money is pooled together with that of other investors, allowing you to hold a diversified portfolio of assets which is not often available to you as an individual investor with small amounts to invest.

Investment via the Fund gives you access to a well resourced and experienced team of the underlying investment manager that is focused on selecting assets on your behalf in order to deliver attractive long term returns.

Further, the Fund offers:

• investment in a broad universe of Australian shares with no benchmark constraints, which allows investment in companies of all sizes to avoid the pitfalls of capitalisation weighted benchmarks (which place undue emphasis on company size);

• a disciplined and structured investment approach which seeks to maximise comparability across businesses and maintain high levels of objectivity in valuations; and
• an intuitive and common-sense approach to risk management which seeks to focus on the fundamental risk inherent in a business and the way it is financed rather than focusing unduly on the range of emotional and non-fundamental factors which drive day to day share prices.

As the Fund invests in listed equities, the Fund is highly liquid. This means that your investments in the Fund can be readily redeemed. Investments in Australian shares over the longer term offers investors the prospect of both capital gains and income from dividends and provides exposure to the growth of the Australian economy. Franking credits are another benefit of investing in Australian shares that may be accessed via this Fund's distributions.

Investor suitability

This Fund is suitable for investors seeking capital growth, with some income, who have long term investment goals and a tolerance for high levels of volatility.
