The Fund provides exposure to an actively-managed portfolio of global securities, primarily through Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and stocks listed on international stock exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ.
The ETFs are predominantly sector and industry based, providing investors with access to areas not well represented on the Australian share market such as technology, cyber-security, medical devices, and robotics.
Direct securities (stocks) will be those that make up the global MSCI ex Australia Index. The allocation to direct securities will be within 0-20% of the total allocation. Stocks are selected to gain more exposure to an attractive industry or business that is not adequately represented by existing ETFs or gain exposure to a sector or industry that is not currently covered by any ETFs
Global equity ETFs provide an efficient, low-cost way for investors to gain access to global equity investment opportunities and growth sectors.
The Fund is designed for investors with a high risk tolerance seeking medium to long-term capital growth potential, coupled with an increasing income stream payable from the dividends of the underlying securities and ETFs.
