        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 also exclude companies with material business activity in tobacco and controversial weapons, subject to materiality thresholds.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.

        Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Performance returns for periods of less than one year are not annualised. The performance figures contained herein reflect Total Returns and are provided on a net and gross of fees basis. Performance figures are calculated using end-of-month exit prices except for the 'Since Inception' return which is calculated using NAV prices for the pre 1 January 2010 period, and end-of-month exit prices thereafter, assume the reinvestment of distributions and make no allowance for tax. Net performance figures are after management and transaction costs. Gross performance figures are before management costs but after transaction costs. Index returns reflect capital gains and losses, income, and the reinvestment of dividends. Index returns are unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of any fees or expenses. The calculation method for the value added returns may show rounding differences.

        Investing involves risk including the risk of loss of principal. Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.

         

        Risk associated with equity investing includes stock values which may fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions.

         

        ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETF’s net asset value. ETFs typically invest by sampling an index, holding a range of securities that, in the aggregate, approximates the full index in terms of key risk factors and other characteristics. This may cause the fund to experience tracking errors relative to performance of the index.
