The objective of the S&P/ASX 200 Index Strategy is to provide clients with a low-cost, predictable way to capture the return of the Australian sharemarket. SSgA does this by investing across the broadly diversified range of companies that make up the S&P/ASX 200 Index. The result is the delivery of a cost-effective implementation with stringent risk control and tight tracking to the Index.
| The S&P/ASX 200 Index Strategy provides investors with a broad and well-diversified portfolio of Australian shares. Prior to 1998, SSgA used a modified replication methodology for Australian Equities Index portfolios. This approach, developed over a five year period, was in response to the low liquidity of small capitalisation stocks in the Index at the time. Following the changes by the ASX on 1 July 1998 which amended the Index construction methodology, SSgA adopted a full replication approach for the management of Australian Equity Index portfolios. This approach holds each of the companies in the S&P/ASX 200 Index at its Index weight. By doing so, the returns produced by our Strategy are designed to closely mirror those of the Index. |
