Colonial FirstChoice Wholesale Pension - ETF Exp Series US Shares - Managed Fund

Fund Objective

The option will invest predominately (generally 92-98%) in an exchange-traded product (ETP). The selected ETP aims to track a broad index benchmark (S&P 500 Index) of shares listed on US stock exchanges (before taxes and fees). The option aims to closely track a Custom Benchmark (95% S&P 500 Index and 5% Reserve Bank of Australia Cash) before fees and taxes over rolling five year periods.

Fund Strategy

The option will hold units in an ETP and cash and target 95% exposure to the underlying ETP and will generally have exposure to the ETP within ranges of 92-98%. CFS has selected the iShares S&P 500 (ASX:IVV) ETP issued by BlackRock Inv Mgt (Aus) Ltd (BlackRock). BlackRock has adopted a passive investment strategy and aims to track the underlying index - the index is an established market cap weighted US equity index and is widely used to measure performance of large-cap equities listed on US stock exchanges. The ETF is not currency hedged.
