Macquarie True Index Emerging Markets - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
The Fund provides exposure to the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Net Dividends in AUD Index (Index), and is designed to generate a pre-tax performance equal to the Index performance
Fund Strategy
"True Indexing is designed to result in pre-tax performance for investors that equal the Index performance. The Fund achieves this by: investing in shares, derivatives and cash, either directly or through underlying funds that are managed by members of the Macquarie Group (Underlying Investments) with the aim of providing exposure that closely resembles the exposure of the Index, and entering into a swap agreement. If the Underlying Investments outperform the Index, the Swap Counterparty receives this outperformance, and vice versa"
