Index Coverage

The MSCI Australian Shares Large Cap index targets coverage of around 70% of the free float-adjusted Market Capitalisation of the Australian share market. The index therefore concentrates on the largest listed companies by size.

Because the coverage target is defined by market value, the index's composition moves with changes in company size and free float. The fund aims to reflect these index changes.

The category Equity Australia Large Blend covers funds that invest primarily in large Australian companies, which is consistent with the fund's index focus.

Free float-adjusted market capitalisation counts only the shares available for public trading. The index uses this measure to determine company size and weight, which affects how the portfolio is shaped.

Portfolio Profile

The fund holds 19 companies, and the ten largest accounted for 86.20% of the fund. The remaining 13.80% is held across the other positions.

The turnover ratio of 4.73% indicates a low level of trading across the portfolio during the period reported. The benchmark is the MSCI Australia Large Cap Gross Return index, which the fund's objective references.

Index updates can change the list of constituents and their weights. The fund adjusts its holdings to follow these updates, and the trading involved is reflected in the turnover ratio of 4.73% over the period reported.
