Australian Small and Mid‑Cap Fund

Australian Small and Mid-Cap Fund (ASMF or the Fund) aim to provide investors with a total investment return (after fees) that outperforms the benchmark over periods of seven years or longer.

The Fund generally gains its investment exposure by directly or indirectly investing in a portfolio of Small-Cap and Mid-Cap companies listed, or expected to be listed, on the Australian Securities Exchange. Australian Small and Mid-Cap companies are generally those companies that are outside the top 20 companies on the Australian Securities Exchange as determined by market capitalisation. 

The Fund aims to be invested with multiple active Underlying Investment Managers whose investment strategies emphasise performance above the benchmark while aiming to control risk.

Units will be issued at a price equal to the net asset value (NAV) of the Fund adjusted for estimated transaction costs (also described as “buy spread”), divided by the number of Units on issue at the relevant time. The PDS can be viewed here.

The minimum initial investment is $5,000 and thereafter in $1,000 increments.

The minimum suggested time frame for investment in the Fund is 7 years.
