Why you’d invest

Invest in this option if you have an investment timeframe of at least seven years. It’s for those wanting to achieve potentially higher long-term returns, from a portfolio of global shares, who are willing to accept higher levels of volatility in returns and the possibility of negative returns over the short term.

The minimum investment timeframe is 7–10 years.

Return objective

To outperform the return of the overseas share market (as measured by the MSCI All Country World ex-Australia Index in $AUD).*

To achieve returns after tax and fees that exceed the inflation rate by at least 4% per year (over rolling 10-year periods).

* The benchmark used is a composite of the hedged and unhedged MSCI All Country World ex-Australia indices to reflect use of currency hedging in managing the option.

Risk level

High
The chance of a negative annual return is 4.4 in every 20 years.
The risk level is based on the Standard Risk Measure.
