AMP Capital - Specialist Geared Australian Shares - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
The objective of the investment portfolio before gearing is applied is to provide a total return (income and capital growth) after costs and before-tax, above the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index on a rolling 3 year basis.
Fund Strategy
To provide high returns over the long-term through geared exposure to securities listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. The aim is to manage gearing to a level that is supported by expected income. Therefore an investor can gain greater exposure to the Australian share market (and also potentially increased imputation credits) than an investor with a non-geared exposure.
