How the fund works

The Fund invests in healthcare securities with high growth potential that are primarily listed on international stock exchanges. The Fund aims to outperform the MSCI Health Care (Net Dividends Reinvested) Accumulation Index in $A over periods of five or more years, and to provide investors with long-term capital growth by investing in innovative healthcare companies from around the world.

Environmental, Social and Ethical considerations

In addition, all companies in the portfolio undergo analysis on how their fundamental improvement aligns with a positive impact on society. Each company is reviewed against four portfolio impact themes that fully align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG-3): Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. These four portfolio impact themes include:

  • New or innovative treatments for diseases including cancer,
  • Enhancing the productivity of medical equipment, services and software,
  • Access to medicine and health care services, and
  • New solutions for lowering health care costs.
