        About this Benchmark

        The MSCI World ex-Australia (Hedged to AUD) Index ("the Index") represents large- and mid-cap stocks across 22 developed markets countries where the local currency exposures are hedged to Australian Dollars. The Index is an industry benchmark used by professional investors for global equity portfolios.

        Investment Strategy

        Four principles drive our investment process:

        1. Investors can take advantage of market inefficiencies through a disciplined application of a systematic, analytical investment process.

        2. The Fund uses more than one strategy designed to take advantage of market inefficiencies to help produce more consistent, investment performance over the long term. We rank companies in the index using factors such as quality, valuation and investor sentiment.

        3. Risk control is an integral part of our investment process. The Fund maintains overall risk, style, and size characteristics similar to those of the benchmark.

        4. Our investment process is based on economic and financial analysis which is continuously updated to adapt over time.

        The Fund will exclude companies, subject to materiality thresholds identified by MSCI, involved in tobacco and controversial weapons. Further information about the MSCI methodology is available on www.msci.com.1

        Currency risk arising from holding securities denominated in foreign currencies is hedged using forward foreign exchange contracts.

        The Fund is suitable for investors seeking capital growth over the long term through a well-diversified portfolio of international equities who also desire a modest level of active management.

        1 The strategy used by the Fund relies on data from MSCI. There is a risk that inaccurate or incomplete data from an external provider will cause the Fund to fail to meet its objectives, either by reducing returns, or by exposure to unintended ESG risks.

        Equity securities may fluctuate in value in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Investing in foreign domiciled securities may involve risk of capital loss from unfavourable fluctuation in currency values, withholding taxes, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations. Actively managed funds do not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. The Fund is actively managed and may underperform its benchmarks. An investment in the Fund is not appropriate for all investors and is not intended to be a complete investment program. Investing in the Fund involves risks, including the risk that investors may receive little or no return on the investment or that investors may lose part or even all of the investment. Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss. This information should not be used or construed as an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation for any security. Investments in issuers in different countries are often denominated in different currencies. Changes in the values of those currencies relative to the Portfolio's base currency may have a positive or negative effect on the values of the Portfolio's investments denominated in those currencies. The Portfolio invests in currency exchange contracts to reduce exposure to different currencies. These contracts may reduce, take or eliminate some or all of the benefit that the Portfolio may experience from favourable currency fluctuations.
