MSCI All Country World ex Australia ex Tobacco ex Controversial Weapons IndexAUD

The Fund invests in a core holding of global listed securities which are included in the MSCI All Country World ex Australia ex Tobacco ex Controversial Weapons Index (AUD) with net dividends reinvested and may also use exchange traded and over-the-counter derivatives to gain exposure to global listed securities or indices or for risk management. The Fund may also have some exposure to cash and cash equivalents. It is not our intention to hedge the foreign currency exposure of the Fund arising from investments in overseas markets.

 

Vinva’s systematic investment approach seeks to harvest returns from opportunities identified by their experienced investment team and data-driven research process. With the use of leading-edge technology and robust risk controls, Vinva implements these opportunities into its portfolios in a highly disciplined, repeatable and efficient way. These strategies are designed with the aim to deliver consistent returns through different market environments over time.

 

Vinva’s systematic investment approach leverages investment insights, markets trends, and relative mispricings that other investors may overlook. Their investment team identifies alpha opportunities by analysing large amounts of data from various sources. They develop insight-driven models, including stock ranking, risk, and transaction cost forecasting models, using over 50 proprietary signals across a global universe of more than 2,800 stocks. These models consider changing market conditions, investor behaviour, and liquidity opportunities.

 

Vinva aims to understand and analyse the relationships between data and predictions, which serve as buy or sell signals to inform investment decisions. Predictive signals evaluate each stock based on a wide range of criteria, such as earnings quality, balance sheet fundamentals, valuation, sentiment, and supply chain linkages. Some signals may be positive, others negative. Stocks with predominantly positive signals are strong candidates for portfolio inclusion. 

Read the Product Disclosure Statement prior to making any investment decisions.

The Fund aims to outperform the MSCI All Country World ex Australia ex Tobacco ex Controversial Weapons Index (AUD) with net dividends reinvested, after fees, over periods of three years or longer.

Vinva’s portfolio construction process integrates stock ranking models, risk models and transaction cost forecasting into a systematic and proprietary dynamic optimisation process. Vinva’s models take into account changing market conditions, behaviour of other investors and liquidity opportunities on a continuous basis.  

 

Vinva’s proprietary tools and models process data on an intra-day basis from hundreds of global sources. They seek to ensure that both overweight and underweight positions are deliberate and based on sound economic principles. By leveraging informed decision-making for thousands of potential global stocks, it creates a portfolio with hundreds of small active positions, rather than a more concentrated portfolio with larger and riskier stock positions.

 

The Fund typically includes over 300 positions and is managed to be style-neutral, where outperformance is not expected to be materially attributed to a single company, country, or to industry specific or macroeconomic risks.   

 

The Fund’s assets are typically invested within the following asset allocation ranges:

 

Asset Class Investment Range
Global Equities 95% - 100% 
Cash and cash equivalents 0% - 5% 

The Fund will be exposed to a smaller range of securities than are in a broad benchmark and therefore the Fund’s unit price may be more sensitive to fluctuations in the share prices of those securities. The performance of the Fund may vary significantly from the performance of any benchmark. 

Vinva’s systematic investment expertise - The opportunity to invest in a global equities portfolio actively managed by an experienced team specialising in systematic equities. Vinva’s integrated teambased approach utilises quantitative signals and research to generate investment insights.

 

Research and investment insight-driven innovation – Continuous investment in research and innovation is a critical part of Vinva’s investment process, supporting the identification of new market inefficiencies and the understanding of the potential rewards of each idea over different market conditions.

 

Global equity markets through dynamic portfolio construction - Vinva’s dynamic portfolio construction process accesses attractive investment opportunities in global equity markets. Vinva constructs a diversified and balanced global equity portfolio, taking into account mispricing, transaction costs, taxes and risk. Vinva’s systematic investment process maximises the number of independent active positions taken in a given period and the number of independent information sources used in the construction of the portfolios.

 

Proprietary technology and signals - Vinva’s proprietary technology and data-driven research allows the team to process large volumes of information efficiently and systematically. The use of technology removes emotion and implements the investment opportunities identified by the research process into the portfolio in a highly disciplined and efficient way.

 

Risk-controlled active positions - Vinva’s investment positions are diversified across various sectors, and seek to deliver consistent outperformance across different market conditions without being significantly biased towards any particular sector or investment style over time. 

Investing with Vinva offers investors direct and indirect exposure to a range of features and benefits, including access to:

  • Vinva’s active systematic investment expertise
  • Continuous research and investment insights-driven innovation
  • Global or Australian equity markets (as applicable) through dynamic portfolio construction
  • Leading-edge technology and proprietary signals
  • Risk-controlled active positions

There are important differences between exiting the Fund via the Securities Exchange or by withdrawing directly with the Responsible Entity, including the price you will receive. You should read the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) or consult with your financial adviser before making any decision on how to invest in the Fund.

The Responsible Entity intends that the Fund will make distributions on an annual basis, although the Fund may make distributions more or less frequently at the discretion of the Responsible Entity.

 

The distribution may comprise an amount attributed to you from income (such as dividends received from shares and interest) less expenses incurred by the Fund (such as management fees) plus net capital gains made on the sale of shares or other investments held. In some circumstances, the Fund may distribute a payment out of the capital invested in addition to a distribution of net income or net capital gains. The distribution amount per unit in each class in the Fund is calculated by dividing the total distribution in that class by the number of units on issue at the nominated record date. The distribution investors may receive will be based on the number of units they hold at the nominated record date. It is not pro-rated according to the time that investors have held their units.

Software risk or renaissance?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is driving a structural shift across the technology landscape. This transition has sparked recent fear regarding the long-term viability of traditional software vendors and their established business models. Much of this fear stems from the perceived disruptive threat of AI challengers and the falling cost of software development.

Renewable energy investment: gloom or boom?

A unique characteristic of high-quality, defensive listed infrastructure companies is their sustained investment profile through the economic cycle. With this in mind, we look to secular trends for opportunities to enhance real growth.
