Overview

Fund objective

AQLT aims to track an index (before fees and expenses) that comprises 40 high quality Australian companies.

Benefits

Outperformance potential

The Fund's focus on quality aims to produce long-term performance superior to that of the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index.

Diversification

AQLT's Index has tended to have different sector weightings to benchmark Australian equities indices, with higher exposure to sectors such as consumer discretionary and lower exposure to the materials (mining) sector, offering potential portfolio diversification benefits.

Access to Australia's highest quality companies

AQLT's index selects Australian companies based on 'quality' metrics of high return on equity, low leverage and relative earnings stability.

* As at 31 August 2026.

Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. Returns are calculated in Australian dollars using net asset value per unit at the start and end of the specified period and do not reflect brokerage or the bid ask spread that investors incur when buying and selling units on the ASX. Returns are after fund management costs, assume reinvestment of any distributions and do not take into account tax paid as an investor in the Fund. Returns for periods longer than one year are annualised. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.

1 This is the annual distribution return to the end of the relevant distribution date. The distribution return reflects the contribution to total investment return made by the Fund's distributions. Distribution return is calculated as the total return less the growth return. Total return is calculated as the percentage change in a continuing investor's interest in the Fund assuming reinvestment of all distributions back into the Fund (and no other application or withdrawal), net of ongoing fees. Growth return is the Fund's return excluding distributions, net of ongoing fees. Past performance is not indicative of future performance.
