Vanguard Global Quantitative Equity - Managed Fund (Closed)

Fund Objective
Vanguard Global Quantitative Equity Fund seeks to outperform the MSCI World ex-Australia (with net dividends reinvested) in Australian dollars Index by 1% p.a. over the long term, before taking into account fees, expenses and tax, while maintaining a risk profile similar to that of the index.
Fund Strategy
The Fund will employ Vanguard's proprietary quantitative process to evaluate the securities represented in the index. The process aims to identify securities that offer a good balance between attractive valuations and attractive growth prospects relative to peer companies in similar industries to arrive at a portfolio of between 200 and 400 securities. The process applies several index relative constraints such as security, asset sector and country constraints with an aim to maintain an investment risk profile similar to that of the index.
