Investment Objective

The State Street Australian Cash Trust ("the Fund") seeks an investment return that approximates as closely as practicable, before expenses, the performance of the Bloomberg AusBond Bank Bill Index.

About this Benchmark

The Bloomberg AusBond Bank Bill Index ("the Index") represents a short-term Australian money market portfolio. The Index is valued using the Reserve Bank of Australia cash rate and Australian Stock Exchange Bank Bill Swap Rates.

Investment Strategy

In managing the Fund, our primary investment strategy is index sampling. The goal of the sampling strategy is to mirror the returns and characteristics of the Index. Our investment process involves purchasing a selection of short term money market securities such that the portfolio matches key characteristics of the index. Characteristics include credit quality, duration, sector exposure and running yield.

The Fund is suitable for investors seeking a high degree of liquidity and low risk.

Fund Footnote

¹ The Responsible Entity reserves the right to not pay any distribution.

Bonds generally present less short-term risk and volatility than stocks, but contain interest rate risk (as interest rates raise, bond prices usually fall); issuer default risk; issuer credit risk; liquidity risk; and inflation risk. Investments in asset backed and mortgage backed securities are subject to prepayment risk which can limit the potential for gain during a declining interest rate environment and increases the potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment.
