    Overview

    Fund Description

    AQTY gives investors access to a portfolio of ASX-listed companies selected for their fundamental quality characteristics, supported by valuation discipline and lower relative volatility. AQTY aims to provide investment returns before fees and other costs which track the performance of the Index.

    Key benefits

    Quality, outcome engineered

    In Australia, quality is often assumed through banks and large defensives. This portfolio is built for the realities of a narrow, cyclical market and deliberately engineered to reduce concentration bias and moderate sector tilts, so the outcome reflects portfolio construction, not index bias.

    Defensive when it matters, not just in theory

    Quality is often advocated as a defensive exposure. But in Australia it can still fall alongside the market. By incorporating price stability and valuation discipline the portfolio is designed to cushion the downside when markets weaken, without giving up the upside when they recover.

    A more balanced source of performance

    Returns are driven by multiple complementary signals that blend quality with valuation and stability rather than relying on a single factor regime. This reduces dependence on any environment and aims to deliver more consistent risk-adjusted outcomes through cycles.

    Index Key points

    Index name

    MSCI Australia IMI Quality Plus Index

    Overview

    The Index is based on a traditional market capitalisation-weighted parent index, the MSCI Australia IMI Index (the ‘Parent Index’), which includes large- and mid-capitalisation stocks. REITs are excluded from the Parent Index to form the eligible universe. The Index aims to capture the performance of high quality, value and low relative volatility securities selected from the eligible universe. Securities with the highest momentum scores in a subset of the eligible universe are included in the final selection.

    Summary of index methodology

    A score is calculated for each security in the eligible universe based on three style factors, as defined by MSCI: Quality, Value and Low Volatility.

    Securities in the top 50% ranked by market capitalisation coverage in the eligible universe are selected in the Index. The security weights are then determined by the relative strength of the score for each security.

    For securities in the bottom 50% ranked by market capitalisation coverage in the eligible universe, top-ranked securities are selected by assessing the relative strength of the score for each security. Then the top-ranked securities are selected by momentum score.

    Securities eligible for inclusion are then weighted by market capitalisation weight in the eligible universe. Security and subsector active weight caps to the eligible universe are applied.

    Each group is a 50% weighting in the Index. The Index includes a maximum of 50 companies.

    Rebalances

    The Index is reviewed and rebalanced on a quarterly basis, usually as of the close of the last business day of February, May, August and November.
