Global Value Trust
| Inception Date | APIR Code |
| August 27, 1999 | -- |
The objective of the Global Value Trust is to provide long-term capital growth by gaining exposure to a diversified portfolio of large value companies associated with approved developed markets (excluding Australia). The Trust is designed to be a component of a global equity portfolio.
The portfolio's eligible universe includes the listed securities of large value companies associated with approved developed markets (excluding Australia).
Investments in eligible companies will typically be in proportion to their market capitalisation within each country. However to manage turnover and taxation considerations the Trust may not exactly match specific company weights. A hold or buffer range for sales minimises transaction costs and keeps portfolio turnover low. Issues that migrate above the hold range are sold and proceeds reinvested in the buy range.
Eligible countries currently 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 value companies in each country.
