Ausbil Global SmallCap Fund

Ausbil Global SmallCap Fund

The Fund provides exposure to an actively managed portfolio, predominantly made up of listed global small capitalised equities.

Overview

The Fund provides exposure to an actively managed portfolio, predominantly made up of listed global small capitalised equities.

Ausbil believes that active management of portfolios facilitates consistent and risk controlled outperformance. Ausbil seeks to identify a company’s unrecognised growth, which in turn will deliver superior risk adjusted returns over the medium to long-term.

The Fund’s controversial activity exclusion policy allows for the removal of companies with material exposure to ‘controversial activities’. Please see the Fund’s Controversial Activity Exclusion Policy for further information on controversial activities, including direct and indirect examples, and the material threshold that is applied to each activity.
