Investment Objective

The portfolio aims to outperform the S&P/ASX 100 Accumulation Index (after fees) over rolling five-year periods.

Investment Strategy

This is an actively managed portfolio of predominantly ASX listed businesses. The strategy's investment universe is all businesses within the S&P/ASX 100 index (at the time of investment), with a maximum of 25% of the portfolio invested in companies outside the S&P/ASX 50 index. The portfolio holds between 20 and 35 holdings and can hold up to 10 per cent in cash; however, the portfolio is expected to be fully invested a majority of the time.
