Australian Large Co. Trust
| Inception Date | APIR Code |
| September 7, 2000 | -- |
The objective of the Australian Large Company Trust is to provide long-term capital growth by gaining exposure to a diversified portfolio of large companies listed in Australia. The Trust is designed to be a core component of an Australian equity portfolio.
Australian large companies are defined as those in the S&P/ASX 100 Index. Investments in eligible companies will generally be in proportion to their market capitalisation. However, to manage turnover and taxation considerations, the Trust may not exactly match specific company weights. Further, the Trust may invest in companies not included in the index. A patient trading style, with an emphasis on controlling transaction costs rather than on speed of execution, helps the Trust achieve its performance objective.
