The Fund does not invest directly in companies that are classified as being in the ‘tobacco’ industry according to the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®), defined as manufacturers of cigarettes and other tobacco products. A company will generally be classified to this sub-industry classification where this definition most closely describes the business activities that generate more than 60% of the company’s revenue. The primary source of information used for classification is a company’s annual reports and accounts. Other sources include broker reports and other published research literature. The classification is assigned at the company level meaning all securities, equities, or corporate bonds, issued by the company will have the same GICS® classification as the company. However, if a company’s subsidiary files separate financials, that subsidiary is classified independently under GICS®. GICS® is not assigned to supranationals, municipals, sovereigns, shell companies, mutual funds, or exchange traded funds.

The Fund does not hold direct investments in certain securities that are classified as controversial weapons securities using data from MSCI Inc. These includes public companies that manufacture cluster munitions, or their intended use components, dual-use components or delivery platforms; landmines or their essential intended or dual-use components; biological or chemical weapons or their critical components; or companies that manufacture nuclear weapons or are involved in the production of depleted uranium weapons, ammunition and armour; and including public companies that own 20% or more (or, for financial companies, 50% or more) of such companies and including companies that are owned 50% or more by such companies. Depleted uranium weapons companies do not include companies that own/operate nuclear fuel enrichment or fabrication facilities or depleted uranium ammunition delivery platforms.

The Fund is designed for consumers who: 

  • are seeking capital growth and income distribution 
  • are intending to use the Fund as a core component, minor allocation or satellite allocation within a portfolio 
  • have a minimum investment timeframe of seven years
  • have a high or very high risk/return profile for that portion of their investment portfolio, and 
  • require the ability to have access to capital within one week of request.

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

Concentration risk: The Fund may have exposure to a small number of key investments. This may result in the returns of the Fund being dependent on the returns of individual companies and industry sectors which may increase the volatility of the Fund’s unit price, and increase the risk of poor performance.

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.

Before you can proceed, please answer some questions to help determine if you are likely to be within the target market for any of the Funds based on your responses. The Funds available will be based on the attributes you select.
