Global Core Equity Trust AUD Hedged Class

Inception Date
9 December 2008

The objective of the Global Core Equity Trust AUD Hedged Class Units is to provide long-term capital growth through access to the broad universe of listed securities of companies in developed markets, with an increased exposure to small companies and value companies relative to a market-weighted portfolio. Dimensional generally aims to hedge most of the strategy's foreign currency exposure back to the Australian dollar. The Trust is designed to form the core of a Global equity portfolio.

Eligible securities for the strategy include securities of companies listed on the developed market exchanges approved by the Investment Committee. The Trust aims to invest across the entire eligible universe and targets an increased exposure to small companies and value companies by increasing the allocation to these companies and decreasing the allocation to large and growth companies relative to a market-weighted portfolio.

By spreading the investment gradually across the entire market, the Trust can hold stocks for maximum efficiency and minimise counterproductive trading. The result is a market-wide exposure that favours the asset classes that historically have provided higher expected returns.

By not adopting an index approach, Dimensional can practise patient trading, focusing on price rather than time of execution, which can mitigate the effects of momentum and lead to lower trading costs. The result is a core holding closer to the desired allocation, which can lessen the dependence on satellite holdings to drive expected returns.

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.
