CFS FC Inv-Acadian Geared Global Equities aims to maximise risk-adjusted, long-term returns by borrowing to invest in stocks from around the world, while carefully controlling portfolio risk and transaction costs. The option aims to outperform the MSCI World (ex Australia) Index over rolling seven-year periods before fees and taxes. The option’s investment strategy is based on the belief that markets are inefficient, creating price anomalies that can be exploited by a disciplined, objective investment process. Acadian’s investment approach employs structured stock and peer group valuation models, which are designed to capture a broad range of relevant characteristics such as value, earnings growth and price-related factors. This aims to systematically unearth securities with unrecognised value, as well as improving earnings prospects to help unlock that value. The option utilises gearing to magnify returns from underlying investments. The option does not hedge investors’ currency risk, but may hedge up to 100% of the currency exposure relating to the borrowings of the option.
