Overview

The Fund provides exposure to an actively managed portfolio, predominantly made up of listed mid and small capitalised Australian equities, which are primarily chosen from S&P/ASX 300 Index, but generally excludes securities from the S&P/ASX 50 Index.

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 mid and small cap market, at all stages of the cycle and across all market conditions, with the aim of producing consistent and risk controlled outperformance.

The Fund is designed for investors with at least a five year investment time horizon, who wish to benefit from the long term capital gains available from share investments and who are comfortable with fluctuations in capital value in the short to medium term.
