S&P 500 Yield Maximiser Fund (managed fund)

UMAX

Earn enhanced income from a diversified portfolio of US shares

Invest Factsheet

Overview

Fund objective

UMAX aims to generate attractive quarterly income and reduce the volatility of portfolio returns by implementing an equity income investment strategy over a portfolio of stocks comprising the S&P 500 Index. UMAX does not aim to track an index.

Benefits of UMAX

  • Attractive quarterly income

    Earn quarterly income expected to significantly exceed the dividend yield of the underlying share portfolio over the medium term. UMAX 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 500 U.S. companies.

  • Potential downside risk management

    The additional income generated by UMAX’s strategy may partly offset potential losses in falling markets.

There are risks associated with an investment in UMAX, including market risk, foreign exchange 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.

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.
