| Investment objective | The Fund aims to achieve an investment return (before fees) of at least 1% p.a. above the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index, over rolling three-year periods, through investment in the Underlying Fund. The Fund aims to provide long-term capital growth and some franked income by investing in the Underlying Fund. | ||||||||||||||||
| Investment strategy | The Underlying Fund is managed to provide a diversified and dynamic exposure to Australian shares using primarily external managers appointed by QIC. The Fund’s asset allocation is 100% invested in Australian shares and the underlying managers are reviewed regularly although a reallocation is only considered in response to a fundamental change in long-term expectations or market demand. QIC seeks to add value through a disciplined approach to the selection of the investments held by the Underlying Fund. | ||||||||||||||||

Distributions are expressed as cents per unit, for example, if a distribution of 3 cents was paid and you hold 1000 units you will be paid a distribution of $30 (1000 x $0.03). Distributions can include different types of income including dividends, interest and realised capital gains. The amount and timing of distributions will vary from period to period. Investors should be aware that there may be periods in which no distribution is made.
The unit price of the Fund will fall by a corresponding amount when the distribution is paid.
