The objective of the Global Large Company Trust is to provide long-term capital growth by gaining exposure to a diversified portfolio of large companies associated with approved developed markets (excluding Australia). The Trust is designed to be a core component of a global equity portfolio.

Eligible countries currently in include Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and the US. Countries will generally be market capitalisation weighted based on the total market capitalisation of large companies in each country.
