Colonial FirstChoice Personal Super - Acadian Geared Australian Equities - Managed Fund (Closed)

Fund Objective
To maximise long-term returns by borrowing to invest, predominantly, in a selection of Australian companies within the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index, while carefully controlling portfolio risk and transaction costs. The option aims to outperform the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index over rolling seven year periods before fees and taxes.
Fund Strategy
The option uses gearing with the aim of magnifying returns from the underlying Australian equity strategy. The underlying strategy aims to exploit the 'low volatility anomaly', the historical pattern in which higher volatility stocks have underperformed lower volatility stocks on a risk-adjusted basis. The resulting underlying portfolio aims to provide returns similar to those of the Australian equity market but with lower absolute volatility over the full market cycle. Gearing the underlying strategy has the potential to reduce drawdowns.
