3. What’s changed?
We've removed Capital International, Inc (Capital) from the MLC Inflation Plus portfolios. Capital has managed the global emerging markets strategy for MLC since 2011.
The portfolios now access emerging markets through our derivatives strategy using index futures.
We’re maintaining the exposure to emerging markets and we’ve moved to 100% shares (from 50% fixed income and 50% shares).

4. Why we’re making these changes
We actively manage our portfolios and work constantly to improve them.
Capital’s investment process and philosophy have remained strong since we appointed them as a global shares manager in 1985.
A key aspect of how we manage MLC Inflation Plus is our tight risk control.  Capital's approach to risk management is different to the approach we prefer for MLC Inflation Plus.
For now, investing through derivatives allows us to flexibly and cost effectively make changes to our emerging markets exposure.
However, we continue to research potential emerging markets managers.

5. How may clients benefit?
These changes mean our portfolios will maintain an emerging markets exposure in a more cost effective manner.
Emerging markets plays a return-seeking and diversification role in our portfolios.
Due to the higher risks of investing in emerging markets, long-term return potential is higher than developed markets.
Emerging markets has been an increasing contributor to global GDP relative to developed markets.

7. Are there fee implications?
There’s a negligible change to overall fees from these changes.
The fees relating to our emerging markets exposure will move from being a management fee to an indirect cost. The costs of investing in derivatives for emerging markets exposure are considered indirect costs.
Investment fees are available in the Fund Profile Tool on mlc.com.au and mlcinvestmenttrust.com.au
