    Investment ObjectiveThe Fund aims to achieve an investment return (before fees) of at least 1% p.a. above the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index, over rolling 7 year periods, through investment in the Underlying Funds. The Fund aims to provide long term capital growth and some franked income by investing in a combination of the Underlying
    Funds.
    Investment Strategy The Underlying Funds are managed to provide a diversified and dynamic exposure to Australian shares using primarily external managers appointed by QIC. The Fund’s asset allocation is 100% invested in Australian shares and the underlying managers are reviewed regularly although a reallocation is only considered in response to a fundamental change in long-term expectations or market demand. QIC seeks to add value through a disciplined approach to the selection of the investments held by the Underlying Funds.
