Investment approach
Arrowstreet offers exposure to a diversified portfolio of global small companies, from both developed and emerging markets, which may include companies in frontier markets and micro-cap companies. The Fund may also have exposure to micro cap companies. In identifying opportunities, Arrowstreet combines the investment intuition of their experienced team, with rigorous quantitative research and sophisticated forecasting models. The investment team seeks to outperform the benchmark by identifying information that, while relevant to a company's share price, is less obvious to the market.

Risks
All investments carry risk. Different investments carry different levels of risk, depending on the investment strategy and the underlying investments. Generally, the higher the potential return of an investment, the greater the risk (including the potential for loss and unit price variability over the short or long term). The risks of investing in this Fund include:
Investment risk: The Fund has exposure to share markets. The risk of an investment in the Fund is higher than an investment in a typical bank account or fixed income investment. Amounts distributed to unitholders may fluctuate, as may the Fund’s unit price, by material amounts over short periods.
Market risk: The investments that the Fund has exposure to are likely to have a broad correlation with share markets in general. Share markets can be volatile and have the potential to fall by large amounts over short periods of time. Poor performance or losses in domestic and/or global share markets are likely to negatively impact the overall performance of the Fund.
International, emerging and frontier market risk: The Fund has exposure to a range of international economies, including emerging and frontier economies. Global and country specific macroeconomic factors may impact the investments that the Fund has exposure to. Governments may intervene in markets, industries, and companies; may alter tax and legal regimes; and may act to prevent or limit the repatriation of foreign capital. Emerging and frontier markets may experience lower liquidity (including as a result of securities or bond markets being closed for extended periods), potential for political unrest leading to recession or war, greater potential for sanctions to be imposed on the country or its citizens, companies or institutions, increased likelihood of sovereign intervention (including default and currency intervention), currency volatility, and increased legal risk. These risks are heightened for frontier markets.
More information on the risks of investing in the Fund is contained in the Product Disclosure Statement, which should be considered before deciding to invest in the Fund.
