Australian Top 20 Equity Yield Maximiser Fund (managed fund)
- Australian shares
Generate enhanced income from Australian blue chip companies
Overview
Fund objective
YMAX aims to generate attractive quarterly income and reduce the volatility of portfolio returns by implementing an equity income investment strategy over a portfolio of the 20 largest blue-chip shares listed on the ASX. YMAX does not aim to track an index.
Benefits of YMAX
-
Attractive quarterly income
Earn quarterly income (including franking credits) expected to significantly exceed the dividend yield of the underlying share portfolio over the medium term. YMAX seeks to enhance dividend income through what is known as a ‘covered call’ strategy.
-
Portfolio diversification
In one ASX trade, gain exposure to a portfolio of the largest 20 Australian companies.
-
Potential downside risk management
The additional income generated by YMAX’s strategy may partly offset potential losses in falling markets.
There are risks associated with an investment in YMAX, including market risk and use of options risk. Investment value can go up and down. An investment in the Fund should only be considered as a part of a broader portfolio, taking into account your particular circumstances, including your tolerance for risk. For more information on risks and other features of the Fund, please see the Product Disclosure Statement and Target Market Determination, both available on this website.
How to invest
- You can buy or sell units just like you’d buy or sell any share on the ASX.
- Fund requires no minimum investment.

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.
