OVERVIEW

About

Gives investors a simple and accessible way to obtain magnified ‘short’ exposure to the market

  • A 1% fall in the Australian share market on a given day can generally be expected to deliver a 2.0% to 2.75% increase in the value of the Fund (and vice versa)

Short Exposure

Range* (%) -200% to -275%
Current Portfolio Exposure ** (%)
*Calculated as the Fund's short exposure to the S&P/ASX 200 Acc Index as a percentage of the Fund's net asset value.
**Represents the Fund's approximate exposure, for the above date, to movements in the S&P/ASX 200 Acc Index, as measured by the futures contract held in the Fund. For example, if the Fund's Portfolio Exposure is -230% (or -2.30x) and the S&P/ASX 200 Index goes down 1% that day, the Fund would be expected to go up approximately 2.30% that day, before fees and expenses. The Fund is actively managed and the portfolio exposure will change on a daily basis, affecting returns over time."

Chart

Chart Type
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.
