AMP Capital Australian Shares Fund
Fund overview
The Australian Shares Fund provides access to shares listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, either directly or through other investments managed by AMP Capital Investors Limited. The Fund applies both a capital and enhanced index approach to investment.
Key features
- Exposure to a diversified portfolio of Australian shares, managed by AMP Capital Investors Limited, in Australia.
- In Australia, AMP Capital Investors Limited’s investment style is based around two concepts:
- The ‘capital’ investment style is based on the expectation that wealth creation is closely linked to a company’s ability to manage its capital and we seek out companies with the capacity to deliver sustainable excess returns on their capital base.
- The ‘enhanced index’ approach is a form of index based share investment and includes the use of return enhancement techniques which takes on slightly higher levels of risk, relative to benchmark, than an index fund.
- This Fund currently invests in the Wholesale Australian Shares Fund, a unit trust managed by AMP Capital Investors in Australia.
Please note a memorandum of amendments to the AMP Capital Investment Funds prospectus was registered on 1 December 2011, a copy of which can be found on the Companies Office website.
