Colonial FirstChoice - Acadian Australian Equity - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
To maximise risk-adjusted, long-term returns by investing in stocks listed on the Australian Securities Exchange while carefully controlling portfolio risk and transaction costs. The option aims to outperform the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index over rolling four year periods before fees and taxes.
Fund Strategy
The option's investment strategy is based on the belief that markets are inefficient, creating price anomalies that can be exploited by a disciplined, objective investment process. Acadian's investment approach employs structured stock and peer group valuation models, which are designed to capture a broad range of relevant characteristics such as quality, value, earnings growth and price-related factors. This aims to systematically unearth securities with unrecognised value, as well as improving earnings prospects to help unlock that value.
