    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.

    Why consider AQTY?

    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 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.
