Wholesale Geared Australian Equity Fund
The Acadian Wholesale Geared Australian Equity Fund (the Fund) uses borrowing to increase exposure to the Australian equity market. The underlying strategy aims to exploit the ‘low volatility anomaly’ with the aim of providing returns similar to those of the Australian equity market but with lower absolute volatility over the full market cycle. Gearing such a strategy has the potential to provide improved drawdown protection versus a standard geared index strategy and therefore aims to provide higher expected returns at lower levels of volatility over the long term.
FUND FACTS
Investment objective: To maximise long-term returns by borrowing to invest, predominantly in a selection of Australian companies within the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index, while carefully controlling portfolio risk and transaction costs. The Fund aims to outperform the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index over rolling seven-year periods before fees and taxes.
