These funds appear on MLC’s platforms, in addition to a number of external platforms: MLC Index Plus Conservative Growth Portfolio MLC Index Plus Balanced Portfolio MLC Index Plus Growth Portfolio THIS MATERIAL IS NOT FOR CIRCULATION TO RETAIL INVESTORS.

How may clients benefit? What’s changed? In MLC Index Plus the passive global real estate investment trust (G-REIT) strategy has been moved to a quantitative, enhanced index approach: we've replaced Vanguard’s passive strategy with Redpoint‘s quantitative, enhanced index approach, and changed the benchmark to the FTSE/EPRA NAREIT Developed Index (AUD hedged), which we believe is more representative of G-REITs. How may clients benefit? Slightly improved return potential for our Index Plus portfolios with no increase in fees. THIS MATERIAL IS NOT FOR CIRCULATION TO RETAIL INVESTORS.

Why we’re making these changes We actively manage our portfolios and work constantly to improve them. We believe we can slightly improve the return potential of our Index Plus portfolios by replacing the passive G-REITs strategy with an enhanced index one that aims to outperform the G-REITs index. The Index Plus portfolios were introduced in 2011 and now have sufficient FUM for us to negotiate a separate manager mandate with no increase in fees. The move to an enhanced index approach will provide the portfolios with a higher expected return potential. Investing in a mandate rather than via an external Vanguard fund provides us with more control. We’ve been able to introduce our preferred and more representative G-REITs benchmark, the FTSE/EPRA NAREIT Developed Index (AUD hedged). Vanguard’s benchmark is the FTSE/EPRA NAREIT Developed ex Australian Rental Index (AUD hedged) which is a narrower benchmark than Redpoint’s. Redpoint systematically analyses companies using quantitative data techniques to outperform the G-REITs index. The manager has a low risk approach, relative to the market. Redpoint will manage the currency hedging overlay program for the G-REITs strategy. THIS MATERIAL IS NOT FOR CIRCULATION TO RETAIL INVESTORS.

Who is the manager? Redpoint manages more than $10.3 billion in assets (at 30/06/18). Redpoint is a boutique partner of NAB Asset Management Services Limited. Redpoint has managed global and Australian shares in the Index Plus portfolios since 2014. These strategies were initially passively managed by Redpoint and we’ve moved them to enhanced index in recent years. While G-REITs is a new strategy for Redpoint, they’ll be using the same low ‘active’ risk, higher return-seeking capability they currently use in global and Australian shares. Redpoint’s investment approach is dynamic, applying a range of strategies to enhance returns by taking small positions away from the benchmark. Redpoint’s low turnover, low cost approach helps reduce the impact of transaction costs and taxation. Redpoint will manage the currency hedging for the G-REITs strategy. Redpoint currently manages the currency hedge for the global shares component of the Index Plus portfolios. Redpoint’s process uses a quantitative approach to select stocks Source: Redpoint.
