Macquarie Master Geared Growth - Managed Fund (Closed)

Fund Objective
The option provides access to a geared portfolio of Australian shares through borrowing. It aims to outperform a similarly geared investment in the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index over the medium-term (before fees) with a high level of tax-effective capital growth.
Fund Strategy
The first part of Macquarie's investment process focuses on constructing a portfolio to outperform the S&P/ ASX 200 Accumulation Index on a core holding of the option. The option then borrows money to gain exposure to a greater value of shares than would otherwise be possible to significantly enhance returns.
