BlackRock GSS Unhedged International Equities Index - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
The Fund's objective is to provide investors with an investment return equal to that of the market, before fees, as measured by the MSCI World ex Australia Indexsm (unhedged in AUD with net dividends reinvested).
Fund Strategy
The fund seeks to invest in or otherwise provide an exposure to the securities comprising the MSCI World ex Australia Indexsm (unhedged in AUD with net dividends reinvested) in a way that replicates the performance of that index. Generally this is done by the Underlying Fund purchasing the securities that form the index, although derivatives such as futures, forwards and options may be used in certain circumstances to provide part of the exposure.
