Overview

The Fund provides exposure to an actively managed portfolio, predominantly made up of listed Australian equities with tax effective income, which are primarily selected from the S&P/ASX 200 Index constituents.

Ausbil believes that active management of portfolios facilitates consistent and risk controlled outperformance. Rather than focusing only on growth or value investing, Ausbil’s investment processes allow it to exploit the inefficiencies across the entire market, at all stages of the cycle and across all market conditions. Ausbil’s active investment process aims to exploit the inefficiencies across the market, at all stages of the cycle and across all market conditions, with the aim of producing a consistent income stream and franking credits for investors, that grows with inflation over time.

The Fund is designed for investors with at least a five year investment time horizon, who wish to benefit from a consistent income stream and franking credits, that grows with inflation over time, which is available from share investments and who are comfortable with fluctuations in capital value in the short to medium term.
